Lessons Learned
Life teaches us all with each passing day
With each mistake
With each broken heart
We learn who we are
My walls grow thicker
My heart colder
Lessons I learned years ago disappeared in your eyes
and with your touch I allowed my wall to crumble
and now here I lay
wondering how after all of these years and all of these lessons learned
I faltered and allowed myself to trip and fall
hating myself for ever feeling safe in your arms
seeing you for what you always were
and feeling thankful that I found out while the wall could still be rebuilt
You never saw me
You never truly touched me
It was all in vain
every shared breath
every kiss
every touch
The depth you claimed to have
only a shallow pool
The kindness you showed
only a fading image hiding the man you truly are
I wish I could take it all back
I wish I would have left the wall where it stood
You never deserved
to see inside my soul
to touch my skin
to taste my love
No one will ever make you forget me
but tomorrow when I the sun crosses over my face
you will be gone.
