Walls

Words flow, senses heightened Buried emotions rise, enough to frighten Souls unite, desires flare Passion unbridled, fate wouldn’t dare Truth damning, cold and unkind Hurtfull moments, seared to mind Fading pleasure, destined to end Trapped by truth, struggle within Darkness approaches, destiny so near Painful reminders, validate the fear Unfulfilled needs, emptiness abound Darkness approaches, closing in…all around

intriguing sad write but isn't it we do create walls to protect ourselves from pain? i like your first stanza best. :) !

We do Olive, we build walls so we don't hurt. But what happens when the walls actually prevent us from attaining unparalleled happiness? I think many of us sabotage ourselves by building these walls. The possability of love is greater than the chance of being hurt. I say take a chance :) Cheers! Your friend, Jason
