Bricks upon bricks

You start with nothing

Just some dirt or clay

And some water

So you put them together

And work at it

And you shape it into what you want it to be

A brick

And now you can benefit from it

It can protect you

It can shield you from the cold

It can hold what you want inside

But only if you use it the right way

Only if you build something with it

It will take work 

And you may have to touch it up every once in a while

But it will be worth it

Because it provides you with so much

You start out with nothing

Just you and your empty heart

And another person

And their empty heart

So you put them together

Cause they want to be and they belong

Because together they can be something better and they know it

And no other is the right match for this perfect recipe

So you shape it into what you want it to be

And you make it perfect

And now you can benefit from it

It can protect you

It can shield you from the sadness 

It can hold your heart

But only if you use it the right way

If you work at it and build it to make it better

And you may have to touch it up every once in a while

But it will be worth it

Because it provides you with so much
