A Wall Between Us
There is a wall between us a wall that has stood for years a wall without a door a wall that hinders our eyes from making a glimpse at each other`s side.
There is a wall between us a wall which puts on layers of broken glasses and thorns for protection and self preservation, a wall so high and impenetrable neither of us can reach nor climb.
There is a wall between us a wall that catches the rays of the sun only for itself, a wall that deprives our common garden from warmth and sunshine, making our own garden cold and dry.
There is a wall between us a wall that has stood for years a wall without a door a wall that has grown by layers of thorns and broken glasses we put on, a wall that steals away the rays of our common sun.
Here is this giant wall between us a wall we have built for many years a wall that makes us dwarfs to break down, a wall that chokes the life and growth of our common garden, a wall that makes us fall apart.
