The Wall

The Wall      by  Richard Martin           239

You built such a wall around you

There’s no way I’ll ever get through

And you won’t let me inside, dear

No matter what I say or do

It seems I’ll never get through, dear,

to feel the love that's inside.

I guess it makes you happy,

To see me here, crying outside.

No need for me to keep trying.

You built your wall to stay.

All my dreams have faded.

And the price is too high to pay.

Someday you’ll feel imprisoned

By the wall you built so high.

The wall you built around you

May haunt you till you die,
