Bricks

One by one the bricks pile on; ignored, broken passion, trust undone

Slowly a wall is built, that could be brought down 

But instead of healing, the bricks build walls high above the ground 

Heartbreak, drowning, stealing my voice

I scream louder, but from behind the bricks you hear no noise 

Bricks of silence built a comfort in which my heart resides 

Slowly I begin to tear them down, sending brokenness tumbling down

Healing, hoping, seeking love 

Pushing myself to rise above the broken
