HEARTBEAT

THE WALL

Please don't love me
It hurts too much!
For you see
I built this wall to protect myself
I have let people in before
and communed with them
but they added a brick to the wall
as they left

The wall is sturdy and finely made
It is made to withstand
the surest of hugs
the warmest of smiles
the friendliest of ways
For I know
I cannot take another brick
upon the wall
I hurt

I would like to be be loved
but with a sure Love
a steadfast Love
a Love which looks
at my heart
and sees my desire to Love
in return

I will
reach through this wall
and Love you
but please don't reach in
Please don't try anymore
It hurts too much!

I asked God inside my wall
He comforts me and lays his Hands
upon my heart
and heals the wounds
He never leaves
He never causes tears to flow
from betrayal
He's inside my wall...
but
He's the only
ONE


PLEASE LEAVE MY WALL INTACT


THE BEAT GOES ON...
