I'm scared
But calm.
I'm panicked
But peaceful.
I don't feel anything because
I've built a wall around my heart,
Not letting anything in or out.
But sometimes something slips through
Until I force the wall back into place.
Little chips of emotion are
Flaking off through my body,
Pricking the numb I feel.
You are one of those flakes.
With you I feel the wall crumbling,
And as much as I try to keep it up
Your smile
And laugh
And eyes
And kindness
Pierce through it.
My heart has joined forces with you,
Trying to tear down the wall.
But my mind has sent reinforcements,
Afraid of what might happen if
The wall is breached.

PoetryLove is a hard thing. Getting over the love you lost Is even harder. It was torture; But when I look back Years from now, I will smile because Although I thought I would never be okay, I will be.
