FORTRESS

A stronghold from the past
You have let it lock your heart
Keeping you apart
From all the love that is now

How do you manage
A fortress around your love
Never letting anyone in
Not letting anyone close enough
To touch your soul

No one really knows you for you
Deep inside the well of emotion
Only the outer beauty is seen
Why this loneliness never ends

What is missing is someone close
Someone who sees beyond
A ravishing attractiveness
Looks to know the loveliness inside

Break down the fortress
Break through the chains
Self imposed from the past
Express all of what you are

Open arms await you
Loved for who you really are
Inside, outside all of you
Accomplishments & that which is yet to be
All is loved, every part of you for all time
