Engraved in My Heart

I wanted to build a bridge, you chose a wall,

In the deepest of your being, I still fell.

The farther I push you from my sight,

The closer you draw in the stillness of night.

In my quest to connect, roads crumbled,

Every effort was defeated, my hopes humbled.

I dared to challenge the world's cruel might,

But you, my love, kept me from the fight.

Despite the hurdles, my love for you soars,

Even In silence of your hearts closed doors.

For even as distance tears me apart,

You dwell deep within my heart.

So let the world rage, barriers stand tall,

In the shelter of your love, I stand, never will fall.

Though fate may conspire to keep me apart,

You are forever engraved in the depths of my heart...
