The Wall

You broke the wall I had built.

You ripped apart the curtain I set up.

I wish I knew how you felt,

But you can't say just yet.

You sing it.

You write it.

You call me 'baby girl'

But I told you what was on my mind

and in my heart,

And I fear it was far too soon.

Maybe I'm just scared.

Maybe I'm just crazy.

But I couldn't bare it,

If you were just like him.

It'd kill me inside.

For so long I was numb and broken.

You brought feeling back into my icy soul.

You broke down that stupid wall.

Please I'm begging you,

Don't make me put it back up.

Author's Note

For the one guy who actually got me to stop thinking about the jerk that ripped my heart out...even for just a few minutes....

Great writing!!! I want to see more. The poet can definitely feel the pain. Great work.
