Love Behind Broken Walls

when the mind 
thinks of love, 
a true love 
no other can compare
the heart
wants no other 
and in my heart 
that love would love 
the very same 

for the heart to 
experience 
love behind the walls 
I have realized 
those walls contain 
the grit 
the brokenness
the selfishness 
the messy 
the overpowering 
magnetic pulling 
which logic may 
never approve of 
the loss of control 
that loss of control we 
both fear & crave 

we cross paths 
clench hands 
link hearts 
bare souls 
dive in 
layer by layer 
deeper and deeper 
until the reality of 
hurts surface 
reality of circumstances
realities of life 
realities of repeated history
realities of a selfish heart 
that continues to need more 
again and again 
a heart which my own 
continues to love 
and allow in 
regardless of pain 
wishing upon the 
star
that true change 
would happen & exist 
wishing for that love 
which the mind believes in 
a love, my love 
obviously 
may not be capable of 

exhausted
I love 
continuous 
clenched fists
fighting for 
that which the 
heart overpoweringly 
wants 
yet, isn't wanted 
equally 

frayed & worn 
tried & torn 
in surrender, 
I must stop
back away
listen to all 
which the silence 
does say 
the writing 
so clearly written 
upon an open wall 
my heart to blame 
for continuously 
taking the fall 
.........
I broke my own heart 
in loving you
