Brick By Brick

It's took me so long to bring down my walls, but I did.

Slowly, breaking down piece by piece of old memories. 

Making way for the new, Making way for you..

It took patience I didn't know I had, but I found

Cautiously moving, but finding peace that had been lost.

Finding peace within me, peace and truth. I thank you.

Walls that took years to make, walls built in silence

How pain does make a person forget to be human.

It took me so long to bring down these walls, but I did.

How I tore through old rubbish of dreams forgotten

Why did I allow myself to forget to feel? 

What was I protecting myself from?

As I think back, I'm reminded, it kind of felt like this.

An endless burning in the bottom of a pit

Being engulfed by a cruel and spiteful world

Old wounds forgotten, new ones made.

I guess it's time to lay new foundation.

So I begin building, but this time making my walls stronger.

Endless nights of tossing and turning, restlessness.

Oh How I know this well, my old companion. Insomnia.

I hear the breaking of a beated heart, Can you hear it?

cautiously moving, for now my peace has been misplaced. 

So I begin building, but making my walls stronger.

I think this time I will build a door, just incase.

For when I try to brave a day, a new. 

I will make this house my home for protection.

building strength within every wall made.

Every wall a memory, a tear and a goodbye

How I'll remember you.. How I'll miss you..  brick by brick..
