Stone By Stone
I have a wall you cannot see,
Because it's deep inside of me.
It blocks my heart on every side
And helps emotions there to hide.
You can't reach in
I can't reach out
You wonder what it's all about.
The wall I built that you can't see
Results from insecurity.
Each time my temder heart was hurt
The scars within grew worse and worse.
So stone by stone
I built a wall
That's now so thick it will not fall.
Please understand that it's not you,
Continue trying to break though.
I want so much to show mysef,
And love from you will really help.
So bit by bit
Chip at my wall,
Till stone by stone it starts to fall.
I know the process will be slow,
It's never eay to let go
Of hurts and failures long ingrained
Upon ones heart from years of pain.
I'm so afraid
To let you in
I know I might get hurt again.
I try so hard to brek the wall,
But seem to get nowhere at all.
For stone upon each stone I've stacked,
And left between them not a crack.
The only way
To make it fall
Are imperfections in the wall.
I did the best I could to build
A perfect wall, but there are still
A few small flaws, which are the key
To breaking through the wall to me.
Please use each flaw
To cause a crack,
To knock a stone off of the stack.
For just as stone by stone was laid
With every hurt, with every pain;
So stone by stone the wall will break,
As love replaces every ache.
Please be the one,
Who care enough
To find the flaws, no matter what.
