A wall mortared in sadness
I built here brick by brick
My tears mixed in with the blood
Of raw, delicate fingertips

I erected it around my heart
Which was savaged and torn to shreds
Picking up the pieces on the floor
In a crimson puddle where it bled

I see the fragments of my spirit
Laying lifeless in my hands
Wishing I had wings to freely fly
Instead of this sorrow where I stand

Wanting so much to trust another soul
I wonder if this pain will ever cease
So for now this is where I will hide
Until I finally find my blessed peace.
