In your arms

I was saved by you....

I built a wall around my heart

Made of bricks, and sticks, and decaying memories

An impenetrable fortress 

Brought on by fear

Afraid of being harmed once again

By sharp words and uncaring actions

A heart full of lacerations hides in the darkness

Alone……lonely…..but away from further injury

No one allowed in

 

I built a wall around my heart

It seemed stable, unbreakable

Until you came along

You confused me

You contradicted everything

All of the things I learned from past experiences

All of the things I thought to be true

You weren’t like the others

The structure I built

Began to waver

 

I built a wall around my heart

That was now crumbling

A brick falling, breaking into dust

For each word of kindness

Whispered into my ear

Each sincere action

Each warm kiss

Each genuine smile

After awhile

My heart was left lying in a pile of rubble

Unarmed and exposed

I was no longer alone

I let you in  

 

I built a wall around my heart

And it was you who tore it down

You saved me

Pulled me out of the darkness

Restored my faith in humanity

Made me believe again

Believe in love

…………………….

In your arms

I am safe

There is no place

I would rather be
