Walls

I thought the loneliness
Was here to stay for life
And I was certain
That my heart
Could never love again

I thought I would never see
The scars fade away
And the flowers bloom
As they are now
Right before my eyes

I thought I would never trust
A set of hands to touch me again
Until you made me feel secure
In my own skin
And took me for what I am

I thought my dreams were buried
Underneath my own feet
And the life I wanted for myself
Would never see the light of day
But now it seems a new leaf has turned

I thought I was hindered
By the pain that once touched me
But you've tore down my walls
And stripped the mask off my face
My life is now your life
