The Wall

There was a time I knew you
like there hadn't been a day
in my life that I didn't know you
and never thought love would pass away

But this morning when I opened my eyes
I questioned whether that life was dreamed
I see you at work and we say "Good Morning",
not even friends as it once seemed.

I know that we existed once
by a photograph of you and me
and I must have loved you hard
to be able to write all that poetry...

They say, time heals all wounds
experience warns of hidden dangers
fences make good neighbors
and walls between friends make strangers

I suppose
afterall
we chose
the wall.
