Emotions
I built a small house
That seems strong to me
It was only a small one
But was enough for me
The bricks where laid down
Just one at a time
And out of them grew
Something that was mine
I treasured it greatly
Thought it was nice
Hoped to expand it
One brick at a time
I felt safe there, and sheltered
Away from the cold
Even though it was small
It was not old
I thought when it grew
Big enough for two
We could share something
Great, strong and true
You then came along
Larger than life
You knocked down my house
Did you even think twice?
You told me you did it
To then protect me
Said that a storm cloud
Might centre on me
You thought that the storm
Might bring my house down
Crumble around me
And bring me to harm
I feel that my house
Would have weathered the storm
But Ill never know now
Its gone and worn
I wonder what you’d say
If it happened to you
Would you trust it again?
Or think that you could
I’ve picked up my bricks
And loaded them here
Put them all in a barrow
The sort that has wheels
Gonna find me a new place
To built up my house
And hope that it’s stronger
So I can keep you out
