Pools of Reflection

You hide behind walls so that no one may harm you
and you hide away within these barriers
letting no one touch you for fear of the pain it
may bring...
But yet I see the pain and fear....
your eyes shine bright with these emotions...
like the moon off the ocean on a clear summers day
and yet you try and hide this as well but you can't hide
from me...
For I have hidden behind the walls just you have and have
felt the same fears as you....
and I hold out my hand to you to help you bring this wall
down....for without love we are nothing but empty shells
of who we once were...
Will you take my hand?
