[hometext] => What the wall of love can do
[bodytext] => I cannot write on clean paper, The words shy away from the page I cannot smile and stand aside As joy and pain take center-stage It's hard to retrace a lonely stroll It's hard to write a letter that's sealed Sealed and blank, I've sent a letter And only my weakness has been revealed Afraid to speak my mind Only my silence touched the page "A whole wall of silence" This wall you cannot see Results from what has been done to me A page left empty A story untold I know this process will be slow For its never easy to let these things go See... brick by brick I built this wall I made it so thick to assure that it will not fall But now no weapon nor bomb can tear it down Looking I see no one to save me around But him Brick by brick I built this wall So I cannot see him, Yet I hear his voice call Afraid This wall has kept me safe I must be crazy to think of letting him invade Maybe just for now We'll see Together "You & Me" You could never hurt me "Right?" So give in and once again I feel strong And brick by brick this wall will break As love replaces every ache This wall has fallen and I am free But some of the debris is still Very deep inside the wall of me [comments] => 1 [counter] => 144 [topic] => 2 [informant] => poetic_influence [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )
