The Truth About Consequences

I was talking to a friend the other day about how being hurt by love can make you hesitate to try again. That lead to this poem.

 

SIlver charms turn to bullets

At the sight of love

Coming onto view.

She knows its bite

All to well.

The red sea

Of her feelings

Has turned into flowing lava.

Many guys have lost

Their souls in the fire

Trying to light

The right flame.

But it will take a real man

With the patience

To cross the broken bridge

And chip away at the stone

Built around her heart.

Hopefully he will find her in time,

Before her castle of protection

Turns to an emotional tomb.

Well this poem is new… I am not just talking bout women, it apples to men as well… I am a bit gun shy these days about love and relationships.

Yes indeed Dale.
We all build walls when we have suffered. It is natural. I guess we need to let our loved ones have their walls as long as they need them.
We can help teach them how to open doors and windows... ;)
I like the poem Dale. It speaks to never giving up on love IMO.

I just read this again... How did I not see Shrek the first time I read this? Ha. I can see the scene in my head so well! :) Maybe we are all a little like onions eh?

I remember a similar story upon reading this piece. We surely know that there's a deep reason why some people choose to build walls around them.
"But it will take a real man
With the patience
To cross the broken bridge"

Nice piece to ponder. Thanks for the share.
