words fell
    like broken
        glass
                from
your lips
                onto
bloodstained
                       carpet
lacerations
              searing your
bruised heart,
      transplanting
              its jagged rips
into mine
  beats sharply feathered
like injured
                wings,
angel eyes
   pigmented my color,
    blinded by a
cool sheen
hiding behind
                 tears
You are but a child,
young fresh entity
yet know the weight
of heavy
    and suddenly
nothing else
       matters
only your light
in my world,
however
         dark you get
nothing material
can fix it and I will
stop it all
to press
the button
          of time
and give
you
the
       world
for my son
Emotions separate us and tear us apart. Distrust, suspicion and lies are the things that get in our way. We throw up barriers to protect ourselves. Physical barriers such a separation and distance from the ones we used to love. We set up emotional barriers to guard our heart so that we won't be hurt again. Brick by Brick we build these obstructions, the things that keep us from really living Our Lives. Until we begin to Tear Down the Walls that we build, we cannot again feel the warmth of love and know trust nor can we begin to heal until this is done
