The walls are high
As I stand in the middle
Of the fortress
I look around
Breathe in the air
I look at the gate
Wondering if I should run
I see you there
Waiting patiently
Loving me
Looking at me
My knees begin to shake
I fall to the ground
With my head buried
In my hands
You walk slowly
And kneel down
Lift up my chin
Looking at me
Not saying a word
My tears stream down
As your arms wrapped
Around me tight
Not saying a word
I hear footsteps
I let go for just a moment
Looking
Realizing
How much I have let in
You have touched me
They have touched me
Touched my heart
Touched my life
I fall back into your arms
As I am trying so hard
To let you in
To let them in
To allow the love
To allow the hurt
To leave me
I feel them come closer
Like a wall of protection
Even though I feel open
Your arms just get tighter
Reminding me it’s ok
Reminding me
No one is going to hurt me
You are not going to allow it
Reminding me I am loved
Cared for
I am not hated
I matter
Allowing you in
Means I need to trust
And remember
How much I mean to you
