Stone by stone

I have a wall you can not see
because it's deep inside of me
it blocks my heart on every side
and helps emotions there to hide
you cant reach in
i cant reach out
you wonder what this is all about
the wall i built you cant see
results from insecurity
each time my tender heart was hurt
the scars within grew worse and worse
so stone by stone i built my wall
thats somehow so strong it will not fall
please understand its not you
continue trying to break on through
i want so much to show myself
and love from you would 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
its never easy letting go
of hurts and failures long engraved
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 break the wall
but seem to get no where at all
for stone upon stone I've stacked
and left between them not a crack
the only way to make it fall
is 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 break through and get to me
please use each flaw to make a crack
to knock a stone off the stack
for just as each stone was laid
with every hurt and every pain
so stone by stone the wall will break
as love replaces every ache
please oh please be the one who cares
enough to find my flaws
