Price of Hurt

I could write of love
The ache in my chest
The tightness across
Mine tender heart

When i miss you
When i so miss you
When awake i stay 
Longing for you

Yet around me
A wall i have built
An impregnable fortres
No more will i hurt

I will let no one in
For letting another in
Floods my gates in emotion
And yearning for your love

I do realize now
I am hurting others
The same way you hurt I
The price we all have to pay
