< Walls to hide emotions. Walls to keep out pain. I've built them all my life now. This time wasn't the same. When I met you the walls were high. There to keep everyone out. Forget love. I want no pain. Leave me alone, I'd shout. You were different than the rest. Brick by brick they came down. Before too long you succeeded. And my heart and bestfriend I found. We laughed, we played, we shared our dreams. I had high hopes this would last. I fell in love with all my heart. Forgetting all the pain in my past. But as always my dreams are lost And now up go the walls again. I try so hard to keep you locked out. But I don't know where to begin. I put them up, but they don't stay. I love you far too much. A look, a smile, is all it takes Until my heart you touch. Just a look and they shatter. And back into my heart you walk. Just a look, no need for words. The eyes say it all, no need for talk. Glass walls that shatter And cut into my heart. You knock them down, then leave me And I fall apart. For then I have no protection. And my feelings are so bare. You go along and act as though You NEVER really cared. So this time as the walls go back There will be no more glass ones. No one, including you, Will ever again get past them. I'm done with love. I'm tired of pain. I don't need a man in my life! HEAR ME! NEVER AGAIN!! So go away all, Leave me alone, To hide behind my walls. ©The Runaway Bride August 27, 2001 Happy Birthday to me!!!
