Chapters

I thank you for your concern
and the way you've reached out to me
but I can handle this crisis
for more than what it's meant to be

and I love you for wanting to be
there in all my pain
though not truly understanding it
for what it really is, refrain

from coming very close
for I'm not sure what I'll do
and the last thing I'm wanting
is to end up hurting you

Allow me to cry as you said you would
you bare your shoulder for that purpose
it's only a shame to have gotten that deep
only having to leave by way of surface
and you know, it's a three-ring circus

this thing we both love, the very thing
that may have brought us close after all
the passion that birthed us, and killed me
the mortar and bricks that built the wall.

And I understand the need to knock it down
but a heart is not strong enough to do it
not until there's a way to make a hole
to be able to stare through it

then the passion may return
to give unto heart strength and power
so the wall comes down piece by piece
use then the bricks to construct a tower

that we may stand high upon
to gaze out over the glory
of what our hearts have made here

and this may begin our story.
