| The Wall If you could look inside my heart and see the pain you've caused, would it matter? Would it even give you pause? Every hurt scarred my heart, each time a little deeper, adding pain upon pain, until an empty shell was all that remained. You drove my heart away and tore at my trust, building a wall between us so high I couldn't climb it, suffocating me with it's existance. You used affection as a weapon and kept me alone in my pain. Even together, we were apart, so I learned to protect my emotions, to protect what was left of my heart. Now you've gone, I grow stronger, my heart relieved to be alone. I no longer deal with pain you cause, no longer live with your wall of stone. Mary |
