The Wall

Illusions of the world

your mind has created so many

enough to build a wall.

Regrets stronger than concrete

bitterness thicker than mortar

self pity more opaque than granite

enforced by the steel beams of circumstance.

Trapping you in the deepest of darkness

blocking out the sunshine outside

sucking the fragrance out of the air

leaving you feeling so alone.

I pray to God for a hammer

big enough to smash a hole in it

or to a drill a tunnel

to let the warmth of my love reach you

blanket you from the coldness of your past

and melt away your sadness

Please break this wall down

your soul awaits you on the other side

and so does my heart.
