why do we build walls

ive built walls around myself my whole life but why

was it to keep from feeling the pain that flows through the air like a airplaine

or to keep from feeling the love that shines in the world like the sun

maybe just so we never feel nething but the numbing cold

that slips through the bricks in our wall

do we really think that wall is going to do more good than harm

did we really think we can take a wall down in a matter of seconds

when it takes years to build

i did but it was a matter of seconds to late

the last brick fell on me with the weight of the whole wall

but why build that wall again

i can feel now

the numbing cold wind

the warmth of the sun

the feel of skin thats so smoothe that you swear it was made of silk

to see someone smile and brighten your whole day

to feel the love you never felt with a wall in your way

to wake up six feet deep never knowing love

i would rather feel pain my whole life

rather missout on true love again

but your wall hurts more than yourself it kills the ones that love you

sooner or later youll die with nothing but a wall in your life

trade that wall in to truely be able to feel the good with the bad
