My Stone Walls

Things happen and I know I'm a kind, compassionate person, and I love fiercely, but...this love, this compassion, this kindness...must be protected. I must have stone walls around my heart. I must be careful who I let in, because...they might shatter me...and it hurts, again and again. So close, they were so close to breaking my walls...I wish they had. I smile, I laugh...and it's genuine...but do they see my pain? I have remembered who I am, but also who I must be.
