two hearts with walls

desperately trying to connect

such high walls

we could not see the tops

pasts of rejection and fear

trying to create a future

lost in the energy

of scars past

two hearts with walls

afraid to throw down ropes

so many fears

who could ever climb that high

to see the love

on the other side

an arms distance love

even when we embraced

a tangible fear

one that caused nervous ticks

of laughter and feet

that could never rest

throats stuffed with words

unable to speak

feelings of truth

through walls of hurt

i remember the glimpses of light

the cracks that would form

in the morning

such a beautiful smile and kiss

to start the beginnings of days

after a night of fear filled dreams

so many words

spoken in fear

of what to say

caused so many secret pains

of misunderstanding

adding bricks to walls

around hearts

so many tears alone

weeped into pillows

and puddles on the floor

we used pride

as our mortar

and pain

as our stone

he said

she said

we are to blame

rivers of habits

ran so deep

easier to build these walls

cause the wrecking ball

of love doesnt

come cheap

the cost of

vulnerability

too high

to accept

we ran the engine

fueled with food and movies

and an oil of sex

to connect

pleasures to hide

two hearts with walls

that would not fall

and end with reject
