Poetry Tuesday: Brick by Brick


You don't have to let someone in

for them to break your heart


When your heart is barricaded,

there is some way in,

some way to crack it

some way to break it.


The pain

the sadness

the hurt

the harm


you don't have to let someone in

for them to break your heart


The harder you care,

the harder they hurt

the harder ... you fall.


You don't have to let someone in

for them to break your heart.


The lies

the truths

the hurt

the harm


You don't have to let someone in

for them to break your heart.


Hate comes from love

pain comes from love


you don't have to let someone in

for them to break your heart


The walls are up,

brick by brick.


broken only by the sledgehammer ...

better yet ... a wrecking ball.
