Full of hate <br />is what I will be, <br />for what you once <br />had done to me. <br /> <br />I placed a stone, <br />a symbol of time, <br />when I condemened you, <br />left you to die. <br /> <br />Just a victim <br />of your lies, <br />but a house of pain <br />will not arise. <br /> <br />These stones around me, <br />markers of shame, <br />each have a meaning, <br />a person to blame. <br /> <br />As I grew older, <br />weary and wise, <br />my heart aches <br />and I just want to cry. <br /> <br />This wall of stone <br />that I have built, <br />is now a harbor <br />of my guilt. <br /> <br />I know now <br />theres no escape. <br />It's just too strong, <br />it's now too late. <br /> <br />No love or life <br />within these stones. <br />Now I am here <br />all alone.<br /><br />Todd M Davidson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wall-29/
