The walls of my heart,
Guarded words, thoughts, and passions,
Protection from pain.
They are mine to hold
Against all other's actions,
But is this in vain?
For fear that the storm,
Tearing my world's foundations,
Will cause the cloud's rain.
Has left me too dry
In my deep hibernations
No other to gain.
The realness of life
Awakens my soul's sleeping
To an honest thought.
Protection from pain
And its hermited living
Can claim nothing brought.
But sorrowed loneness
And a heart unforgiving
To the one is wrought.
So I tear my walls,
And move my habitation,
To the land of chance.
My heart now able,
To be hurt, held, healed, or loved,
But for sure it's free.
