Walls

Loving was not an option
Surviving was all I knew
Protecting and independence was the only way

The wall was up
It was strong
It was high
Unbreakable no one could crush

He walked in and made me laugh
Punching and kicking
He took it down
So strong he was

Piece by piece
A theft he was
He took my heart

Prying and poking
He discovered a part of me
He made me feel

When he was done
He picked it up and devoured it only to digest it

I let him in
I gave him power
I gave him love

Now don't get me wrong I'm glad I did

I learned to love
I learned to trust
I learned to feel

What I did not learn was how to let him go, how not to love him ?
How do I stop feeling?
