Love

Through out the years
We spill so many tears
For the love that we lost
Remembering what it cost

Building up a brick wall
So that we never again fall
Guarding my heart away
Afraid to let anyone stay

Does a soulmate even exist
When all we do is resist
Holding onto the pain
Waiting for the cleansing rain

To break down each brick
And find what makes us tick
Scared of what we may find
A heart that is one of a kind

When love knocks on your door
Will your feet drag across the floor
Or will you jump at the chance
To give in to this lover's dance

Are you scared to even try
You question the reason why
Will this finally be the one
To bring about the morning sun

To warm a cold, cold heart
How did these feeling's even start
With each and every new day
I find my heart being swayed

To the possibility that I could give
A chance to love and to live
