Walking Wounded

I don't have  a date attached to this one and I can't quite remember the circumstances behind it, so I'll just post it anyway....

Broken Walls

Quietly marking the passage of time

With the subdued beating

Of a once strong heart

Here sits one who had conquered all

But lost it

He once stood tall

And strong against

The elements in their vain attempts

To break his soul

Then came one

Who conquered his walls

And found the fear that his

Behind them

And brought to him treasures

He have never held before

But the dark forces

Took life from his grasp

And alone he stands

Once again

Finding his only strength

In the memories of

Broken walls.
