Broken Walls

written by: Ashley

@AshRieN

All My life

I wanted to be

a good wife

The best wife

a safe place

a best friend

the rock

on which he could depend

His anchor

his island

his lighthouse

in the storm

But he broke the dishes

broke the walls

he broke my trust

he broke it all

And I couldn’t bear it

I wasn’t strong enough

to take it

I stopped talking

stopped touching

stopped loving

a failure

in every way

I hurt him

drawing into myself

each day

so he broke the dishes

broke the walls

he broke my trust

he broke it all

It was supposed to be forever

Love and cherish

through whatever

but Wedding rings

turned into shattered dreams

I couldn’t eat

wondering

“why did he cheat?”

In an empty bed,

where I couldn’t sleep

barely breathing

through the weeping

My world had ended

and the sun still

rose

No pity

to put it simply

I was drowning

in the shadows

They rode off into the sunset

and I was left alone

then You gave me kisses

broke down my walls

You mended my trust

You mended it all

Now I can’t stop talking.

and touching

My best friend

my anchor

You took the storm clouds

gave me sunshine

Used my tears

to make rainbows

You

Fixed it all.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

I wrote this as song lyrics but I think it makes a better poem.
