Your fortress

You spent a lifetime building walls
Barriers to shield you from all evil
Comfortably living your life

With three words I tore down your walls
I broke in to your fortress with a smile
I thrust my love upon you

You hesitantly gave me your trust
I reassured you everything was fine
I promised I would protect you

You no longer have your walls
You are exposed and hurt
I failed to protect you

Endless nights I’m thinking of you
Asking myself what went wrong
Could I have done any different

Should I have left you alone
Alone and safe in your fortress
Numbing the feelings I had

Judging my actions and thoughts
Adding my honest intentions
Subtracting all of your pain

Did I give more than I took away?

Wait for me

My life ran out of me when I got the news
Like sleeping beauty you will not wake up
No more laughter,no pain or fear
I take your hand ,refusing to let go

Whispering your name ,I can’t reach you
Silence is screaming inside my head
I cry and I pray but its all the same
Your voice forever lost to my ears

My lips never again kissed by you
All that remains of you is in my head
You have found your safe place now
Will you be there waiting for me?
