Our Wall

The little girl within you … The little boy in me Long so for affection, Oh most desperately. But scars of old relationships The wounds from he or she Never ever really heal They bleed eternally. So you and I a wall have built To keep the hurt away Trust is non-existent Love can’t come to stay Emotionally were we raped, Mentally were we scarred Left behind the wreckage In being a discard We’re told time will heal us We’re told “just wait awhile” But existing is so difficult Here in self-exile. So … we keep our chins up Hoping not to fall But in the meantime … ‘nother brick goes in Our Wall.
