The Wall – Susan Varo 3-6-2008

So it seems I won’t break through

the wall between me and you

and the wall seems so wide

right between us side by side

It always seems it’s here to stay

I’m cornered in every way

there’s no ceiling of just how much

what I’d be feeling by your touch

It keeps away what love could bring

it blocks out some of everything

just permit some love I’ll take the blame

and I’ll be floored just the same

The walls blocking where my dreams abound

I just want to knock it down

it stretches across the things I yearn

if I could aflame I’d make it burn

What kind of love can go through this

the wall is there in the midst

is the wall my cross to bare

it’s always with me everywhere

Stop playing this solid impenetrable game

what’s written on you does it list my name

is it flailing like a post no bill

or is it simply against your will

You can’t imagine the pain I feel

the wall before me the wall is real

my dreams get shattered almost all when they

hit the wall and crumble away

The wall won’t stop and set me free

it’s in my way blocking me

but I protest I’ve taken a stand

to forge through this vertical land

One day I’m going to just stand tall

and be a witness when it falls

never ever will the wall again

stand before me like it did then
