When all you see is crumbling,
But the walls stay strong and high.
When all is lost, you're stumbling,
to the floor where you shall cry.
It matters not, now be standing,
For around, below, above;
All that I can, to you I'm handing,
I'll surround you in my love.
The times when I'm not welcome,
And the boundaries, I cannot pass,
I'll stand firm, for the time to come,
When love's power will surpass.
Defences set for self protection,
keep out the risks of pain.
Defences cannot know of selection,
and so keep good out just the same.
I'll launch attacks on battlements.
I'll knock them to the ground,
Until the builders realise,
The foundation is unsound.
And if those walls still reappear,
And I see no way through,
I shall forever persevere,
To get my love to you.
About This "Poem"
Written in 2000 for someone I loved very much. She had stuff going on which meant that despite having been in a relationship for a year, she was pushing me away. I wrote this for her and it made a difference at the time. Another 4 or 5 years later she decided she didn't love me any more. It took a long time to get over her and there were other complications in our relationship that made it all the more difficult. Now just friends but she is still one of my favourite people even though she still has the power to hurt me.
I know it's just some more bad romantic poetry as written by the broken hearted everywhere, but wanted to share it all the same; it meant something once.
