Building Walls

Alas, my heart is filled with loneliness,
and raindrops from my soul now fill my eyes;
my woeful spirit broke and penniless
as all my being wails it’s mournful sighs.

She came into my life and brought me hope,
a promise of tomorrows yet to be;
but her aloofness left my soul to grope
while toying with my heart strings just for glee.

But I will not again be made a fool
by such sweet stranger entering my world,
and thinking she can take my heart to school;
no love within my life need be unfurled.

For I will build great walls around my heart;
no more will life’s false hope it’s pain impart.
