The wall he built

The wall he built to protect his heart 
love again, and the wall falls apart 
Leaving the protection of his walls 
The old familiar pain, And he begins to recall.

“Love is cold and ends in pain, 
Is love really worth the suffering again?
Maybe love is just not for me 
This is something I finally see”.

Once again he builds a wall
Only this time it’s far too tall
He hesitates a moment there was a but
A final few words before the doors finally shut 

“Please understand it’s not you who I blame,
I know your feelings for me aren’t the same.
I’m just a shell of my former self,
I won’t find love with anybody else”.

She won’t love him back 
And that he must accept
But knowing and caring for her 
Is something he won’t forget

He knows that he must move on 
And With some time he shall 
Although he doesn’t want to 
Please understand that now.

Although he has nothing 
He still does not complain 
Infact he is grateful 
To suffer no more pain 

In these last few lines 
He just wants to wish her well
May all her dreams be true 
That’s all he has to tell

He takes his final leave now, 
With one last hope within.
That someday she will realise 
What possibilities could of been.

But he will be long gone by then,
Inside his new built wall.
Never to come out again, 
Never to hear the call.

With many fond memories to accompany his new pain,
And with his new vow “to never love again”.
