Love Poem: The Battlement

The Battlement

I built these walls, this battlement, I built it brick by brick
It seemed a moment at the time, but t'was a lifetime to do the trick
I built these walls with care and thought, I built them sure to last
I built them from the sands of time and all the tears that'd passed  
I stand behind my castle walls and watch as life goes by
I do not wait for love's return, for love was but a lie
I wait to find a warmth within, a light that burns inside
Without that light I shall remain a heart without a guide
