stone by stone

I have a wall you cannot see,
because its deep inside of me.
It blocks my heart on every side,
and helps emotions there to hide.
You can't reach in, I cant reach out.
You wonder what its all about.
The wall I built that you can't see,
Resutls from insecurity.
Each time my tender heart was hurt,
the scars within grew worse and worse.
So stone by stone, I built a wall
Thats now so thick it will not fall.
Please understand that its not you,
continue trying to break through.
I want so much to show myself,
And love from you will really help.
So bit by bit, chip at my wall,
Til' stone by stone it starts to fall.
I know the process will be slow,
Its never easy to let go
of hurts and failures long ignrained
Upon one's heart from years of pain.
I'm so afraid to let you in,
I know I might get hurt again.
I try so hard to break the wall,
but seem to get no where at all.
for stone upon each stone I've stacked,
And left between them not a crack.
The only way to make it fall,
is imperfections in the wall.
I did the best I could to build
A perfect wall, but there are still
A few small flaws, which are the key
to breaking through the wall, to me.
Please use each flaw, to cause a crack,
to knock a stone off of the stack.
For just as stone by stone was laid
with every hurt, with every pain;
So stone by stone the wall will break,
As love replaces every ache.
Please be the one, who cares enough.
To find the flaws, no matter what.
