These Walls

by John Holley   Aug 10, 2005


I build these walls a while ago
To keep my heart from aching
Tall these walls stand and strong
To keep my heart from breaking
Many people have gotten close
I've let them reach the walls
But no closer could they get
My walls would never fall
People have tried so many things
To get inside my walls
But no force was strong enough
My walls have stopped them all
Until the day you came along
The L word was never spoken
Somehow you are the only one
For which my walls have opened
I was scarred, my guards were down
My heart was on its own
You moved in, brought all your stuff
Then left me all alone
Don't worry 'bout the things you left
Your toothbrush is no concern
Your pillow,pictures,and your clothes
Are waiting for your return
Moving in you made your mark
And now my heart is crying
The past two weeks it's had no beat
I think its slowly dieing
My walls went down and i got hurt
Again they'll never fall
No more loving for this heart
It hides behind these walls
