as the darkness lingered on
and the light filtered in from above,
i woke up to a brand new day
intent of breaking the barriers;

all along i had built a brick wall
to protect me from the rush of madness
a wall so strong and so comfortable
it broke into pieces when you came around;

broken into pieces and
afraid that i might stumble and fall
in the rubble infront of me
i erected a little fence;

to separate me from you,
i built a fence around my heart
and closed my eyes to the emotions
that have now laid siege!

a daily onslaught of emotions,
besieged by your thoughts,
as time passes on,
i realize the end is not far away
i see the darkness slipping away,
unable to put up a fight anymore
i give in to my emotions,
i surrender myself to you,
express my love and put myself (my life)
at your mercy!

emotions dripping down
one after another
slowly filling
the love filled heart

dreams close enough
to being a reality
dangle infront of me
waiting for the moment

to break out from the
self imposed restraint
that is killing me
day after day!

as the whisper of winds
gently caress the night sky
a familiar longing
rekindles the emotions

wandering through the
darkness of the night
the face that i long to hold
appears in every little thing i see;

if only the wind could carry
the unrevealed emotions
that my heart is crying out every night,
i would send it as my messenger right away!

as the night spreads its shadows across the land
i close my eyes, thinking of the moment
when you came in and stole my thoughts,
dreaming of the smile that melted my heart!
