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?
