Lovers and Dust

[Xavier20]

"There was a wall here. Now it is dust.
A tower rose here. Now it is fallen.
An army fought here. Now it is dead.
A spirit was here. It is all that remains."
- Kami of the Old Stone.

I am made of stone, of hardened flesh,
Of beat up bones and tampered mesh.

I seek to become the best of the best,
And I now I weep like all the rest.

My walls have never been breached,
Nor has my heart ever been reached.

I watch those around me stumble and fall;
I scoop them up one and all.

Friends and companions, lovers and lust,
They all do what they must.

They survive in a world of ash and dust.

Using me 'til I bend and break.

But my soul, they'll never take.

I lend them money, hand and trust,
But often all I get is mush.

They use my shoulder
Like a boulder,

Always crying, hurting and seeking shelter,
Under my walls do they welter.

Friends and companions, lovers and lust,
They all do what they must.
They survive in a world of ash and dust.

I'm the walls, with a heart within.
I hope one day to let someone in.

May she be stunning, wonderous and slim,
For she may pass the tests within.

Until then, I shall shut the doors,
And lend my strength to the passing lores.

Friends and companions, lovers and lust,
May one of you clean up the dust.

[thrall]

I'm the walls, with a heart within.
I hope one day to let someone in.

Opening those doors and letting someone in is one of the scariest things, and one of the most rewarding.

Especially when you feel the way you do...

i hope one day soon someone comes and cleans the dust.. and finds your heart within.. it would be a waste to miss a heart as warm as yours...
