My Dream of Your Heart

I had a dream the other day that I was standing beside your heart. I was holding a sledge hammer and I began to break down the walls around it. It was an old sledge hammer with a wooden handle and a head of steel. I wielded the hammer with everything I had to break down your walls of insecurity. I was a one-woman demolition crew! As I busted apart the concrete wall there you were right behind it rebuilding a wall ten times stronger. I thought to myself, "Should I give up?" or "Should I throw in the towel?" I decided to have the heart of a mighty deliverer and do everything I can to deliver your heart to me. I promised that I would take care of your heart for all eternity. I am not sure why you have such a difficult time believing me. Is this how you handle all the love in your life? Do you just toss it aside and believe the gods will send you something better? I am here to stay. Why do you think I have sent you a million letters? Stop trying to undermine all of my effort and just surrender your heart to me. Things would go so much more easily! gwendolen rix 6-10-15
