Our Daily Portrait

By Crystal Passion

A broken heart-
Banished as kindling
A sedated soul-
Exiled to loneliness

Baring the wounds of a relentless battle
Which daily fought to tear me down
Your immortal wall, built by your own heart
Destined to lock itself away from mine

A myriad of pain to torment the lonely
When you choose to close off
The pleasures of tomorrow, lost in yesterday
If only… you could only… let me in

    Sometimes it's hard to open up, especially to the ones you love. Give it time, and hopefully things will be great :) I'm wishing the bestest for you and him.
