By Tinka
Out of breath, lying in bed
Not from what I longed for
But from building this wall
Thicker, stronger
Layer by layer

No harness, no hand to hold
I balance on loose scaffolds
As I’m building this wall
Love slips further
Layer by layer

Buckets of tears
Concrete gone thin
A house turned home by heart and sweat
Don’t let the ground cave in

Do what you did in the early days
The little things that made me stay
Remind me how we found our way
Because I still want to stay

You found soil beneath my stone
My past was still in rubble
I was building this wall
You laid love down
Layer by layer

Do what you did in the early days
The little things that made me stay
Remind me how we found our way
Because I still want to stay

Climb this wall of mine again
Splash it with color
Not to hide the cracks—
But to celebrate the way
We’ve held through them

Do what you did in the early days
Those little things that made me stay
Remind me how we found our way
I still want to stay

Reach for me through what remains
Even through the cracks and strain
If we still matter—come what may
Let’s choose to stay
