to love again




building this wall
that surrounds me whole
brick by brick
of a steely emotion

protection against
the most anguishing of pains
the wall's almost complete
and i'm barely there

soon enough
your attacks will deflect
off of my hardened shell
and i will know no sadness

if only one day
i could seize the moment
take another risk on life
and love again.

back to proof
back next
