Guarding of the Walls

damage built the tallest of enclosed walls

to which I resiliently guarded

to preserve my identity which was now ghostly

my heart became calcified

what soul I had within could only whisper

seclusion the safest of choices

was healing still attainable

with time, and self-reflection

a familiar ballad began to play

my soul understood its lyrics

my heart breaking through its barrier

I still recognized the image in the mirror

as its expression of sadness remained

My happiness was anchored in darkness

Yet only I could bring happiness to light

absorbing the poignant memories

inhaling fresh new beginnings

reviving the yearning I had always searched for

The walls stealth and domineering

still guarded from all corners

Only the truest of loves would be given access

the one with intention to show pride with my presence

the one determined to enter eternity with hands entwined

It would take one with the highest of caliber

Soul recognizing Soul

peaceful acquisition of one another

passionate hunger with endless appetite

for to settle for less, my walls would only expand

 my guard merged into the shadows the walls projected
