She built her walls so high and strong,
Shielding her heart from any wrong.

Then she met a man one day and
let her walls crumble away.

He seemed so kind, so full of light.
Her heart skipped beats, it felt so right.

But as they grew to know each other,
she noticed she wasn't the only one, there was another.

The man she thought she knew so well,
was just a mask, a hidden veil.

He left her heartbroken and alone,
leaving her with walls to regrow.

She built them brick by brick with care.
Protecting her heart from any scare.

And though it hurt to start again...
She kept on building despite being broken
while she tried to keep mending.

No longer would she fall so fast.
Her walls would hold, unsurpassed.

For love can be a fragile thing,
she had learned to guard her wing.

So as she stands behind her walls,
she knows that she will never again fall.

For she has learned to be so strong,
protect her heart with everything she's done.
She's been shattered for far too long.
