the wall between us

There is a wall between us
It prevents us from becoming something more
Here I stand, intrigued and infatuated
Yet I fear my feelings are exaggerated
Perhaps this wall is the pain of a past
Or the fear of our future
I’m standing here looking
Waiting for something to happen
But I cannot even see you.
Instead I see stones of reason and logic
It’s excuses that keep us apart
Maybe the wall is this fatal attraction
That keeps me from being me
And in turn you see stones of lies
Frozen, yes, self control is between us.
We walk to the edge of possibilities
And let our imaginations consume us
I know you’re there, waiting
I’m still here listening
Would I be a fool to climb?
To climb this barricade of time
Time moves, yes
But will this wall is immobile
It is no secret that we hold secrets
This wall is full of silence
We give hints of what’s deeply critical
And disguise it with sarcasm and comedy
The truth is that we’re both calling out for love… a love
The question is what kind is necessary
Just then, when we both believe that we are not each other’s future
And that we are nothing more than failed attempts turned into a lesson
… We walk away.
