A Wish From the Heart

 I wish 
I wish I could tear down that armoured wall that you've built, 
so I can try to repair,
the gaping hole in your heart.

But we can't and you couldn't, right? Write is very good. Like many below, I wanted to read your first posting. I was here in 2018, but don't recall interacting before disappearing in '22 for a bit. My brain might simply be blocking the memory, my brain, she's mean.

Hi CayCay, It's a wish, only that. Still one from the heart I feel has aged well. Perhaps an added footnote, "message to self". -Richard
