Stone by Stone

by MyBleedingWrists   Jan 3, 2007


I have this wall you can not see
Because it's deep inside of me
It blocks my heart on every side And helps emotions there to hide
You cant reach in
I cant reach out
You wonder what it's all about

The wall i built you cannot see
Results from insecurity
Each time my tender heart was hurt
The scares with in grew worse and Worse
So stone by stone
I built a wall
Thats now so thick it will not fall

Please understand that it's not you
Continue trying to break through
I want so much to show my self
And love from you will really help

So bit by bit
Chip at my wall
Till stone by stone it starts to fall

I know the process will be slow
It's never easy to let go
Of hurts and failures long ingrained
Upon one heart from years of pain

I'm so afraid to let you in
I know i might get hurt again

I try so hard to break the wall
But it seems to go nowhere at all
For stone upon each stone I've Stacked
And left between them not a crack
The only way
To break the wall is imperfections In the wall

I did the best i could to build
A perfect wall the there are still
A few small flaws witch are the key To breaking the wall to me
Please use each flaw
To cause a crack
To knock a stone off the stack

For just as stone by stone was laid
With every hurt and every pain So stone by stone the wall will break
As love replaces every ache
Please be the one
Who cares enough
To find the flaws no matter what...
