By Samuel K. Byrd As the flood gates of emotions pour open, love turns to fear, fear turns to anger Often, it gets harder to distinguish what from what Confusion begins to blur the line between love and lust Not wanting to repeat past events hinders moving to new beginnings Self doubt mixed with a sense of pain, frustration and mistrust Often we turn away those that may actually want to be with us To protect the heart and vow it will never be hurt ever again We construct a wall to guard us from that very thing To shield us from the pain that love is sure to bring But is this wall protecting or destroying what could be Because to guard against hurt you sacrifice happiness To do away with hurt may also do away with total bliss So do you run that risk and do you take that chance Do you a roll the dice and let down the wall around the fort Cause after all love is a game to be played not a spectators sport
