"These walls I've built are tumbling down
but yours are still standing
tall on high ground."
We build walls to keep the hurt out. Sometimes they keep love out too.
Walls is a raw, honest poetry collection about letting someone in, and what happens when they don't stay. From the fluttering hope of a heart opening up, through broken promises, lies and the slow fading of love, to the dark, drowning depths of heartbreak, Carol L. Bridges writes the feelings most of us keep locked away.
These poems are for anyone who has loved too hard, been left on the floor, smiled while dying inside, and still found the strength to wash ashore.
Because sometimes the only one who can reach through the wall and save you is you.
Content note: this collection explores mature themes, including emotional abuse, self-harm and depression.
