The Wall

Just when I think I understand...
When I think you and I are getting close-
When I think you love me-
But you never let me in.

Instead you put this wall between us...
Brick by cold, dark, brick you shut me out.
Can't you see I love you...
Why the wall? Don't you trust me?

The space between us hurts...

I can't stand this space-
This distance,
Is it necessary?

At this wall...
I have punched til my fists bled,
Screamed til I was hoarse;
Tried all I could do to break it down.

Is this what you want...
Me out?

I need your help...
Please take it down -
Please, please let me in.
