Thoughts of a Fool

I built these walls To protect my heart I got trapped inside I thought it was smart If I can’t feel, I can heal A cold, lonely path A victim of defensive wrath I’ll push you away and beg you stay Aware of my weakness And profound in my strength Scared of the courage it takes To risk the heartaches I’ve suffered through pain The memory makes me go insane Why does it hurt so bad? Love shouldn’t drive you mad All I’m losing is time And I thought I was in my prime Clueless about life Confused about love Emotionless thereof

This too, shall pass, Kristin. If you ever had the impression that love does not hurt, you are mistaken. We are all flawed and make mistakes. I'm an old man and I too consider myself clueless about life. Smile, tomorrow is a new day:) i enjoyed reading you this evening. I once wrote a poem,"Point of No Return" on this very subject:)
