Within


Deep within the gated doorway of a shattered adults hurt you find the innocents of a child. Lost in the ways of life, picked apart by strangers claiming to keep them from danger. Trusting in the heart to find that love that only comes from above. Gated now because of the years of false promises and dreams that brings the mind to dream and the heart to scream. Older now.... the pain still remains and the heart is stained trying to remain in a world of no love. Tears, fears, and unpleasant years has brought the ice. Stone cold and not easily broken but easily melted by the burning lust and worldly thurst to get you nowhere but alone again searching for your childish self as a friend to pick up and start again in a world that never ends ... In a heart that needs a friend.
