stone by stone

I have wall you cannot see
Because it's deep inside of me.
It blocks my heart on every side
And helps emotions there to hide.
You can't reach in,
I can't reach out,
You wonder what it's all about

The wall i built that you can't see
Results from insecurity.
Each time my tender hear was hurt
The scars within grew worse and worse.
So stone by stone,
I built a wall,
that's now so thick it will not fall.

Please understand that it's not you---
Continue trying to break though.
I want so much to show myself
And love from you will really help.

So bit by bit,
Chip at my wall,
Till stone by stone it starts to fall.

I know the process will be slow---
It's never easy to let go
Of hurts and failures long ingrained,
Upon one's heart from years of pain.
I'm so afraid
To let you in;
I know i might get hurt again.

I try so hard to break the wall,
But seem to get nowhere at all.
For stone upon each stone I've stacked,
And left between them not creak.
The only way
To make it fal is imperfections in the wall.

I did the best i could to build
A perfect wall, but there are still
A few small flaws, which are the key
To breaking through the wall to me.
Please use each flaw
To cause a crack
To knocka stone off of the stack

For just as stone by stone was laid
With wvwey hurt and pain,
So stone by stone the wawll will break
As love replaces very aches.
Please be the one
Who cares enough
To find the flaws, no matter what.
