Tearing Down Walls
Because of you I have loved so deeply
and because of you I have been bled dry,
"Well, you don't really love him." she said to me
(she gave herself away) in an instant I knew
she lied.
Not only to me.

Our souls having been imprisoned ~ by falsehoods;
Without knowledge from which wisdom --
