The barrier

The Barrier lies within me.

Not the gates, the part or bushes.

Every step taken fear consumes

My love is near, but seems too far.

I crave to see it in every passing time.

But this barrier is hard to break.

It’s not the fear of world.

But I’m scared of losing a heart.

What if if my fragile pot break?

It would be hard to repair it.

But today I cross this barrier.

Because love is a risk that is to be taken.
