Excavation

Intrigued by what is hidden inspired by the forbidden, I dare to excavate the caverns of your mind. Heartache has created walls, walls that serve as protectors against pain and disappointment. Past pain & old haunting hurts have banded together to stop the reoccurrence of heartache. As a result of this alliance, the core of you has been locked away. I want to know you. I want that which is concealed. I love that of you free to be loved, I desire to love that of you locked away. More than having the joy of you loving me, I just want the pleasure of you- letting me, love you. What pain has created this enigma? What disappointment led to the construction of this wall? Why is it so hard to just let yourself fall? Hearts racing resulting from extreme emotion; your pounding heart likened to a smarting thumb. Why does feeling cause you to become numb? Dreams of crumbling walls and mysteries solved are all my mind can fathom. More than revealing secrets from within, I just long to be let in.
