Behind that Wall

Behind that Wall

by Jonathan Paul Diaz

Two worlds separated by a concrete barrier

Two people being drawn by the wall to come closer

Seated by the wall they start communicating

A brief exchange and a new friendship was beginning

As days passed the wall didnt matter

The two found a way to virtually be together

Even in their situation their feelings grew deeper

They have found love even if they were not together

With a chisel and hammer they both started chipping

After a few months face to face they were smiling

Finally holding hands and relaxing on warm embraces

Lips finally locked, under the wall two inseperable faces

But their moments of bliss didnt last long

The girl was pulled back to where she belongs

Again separated with the wall now fortified

In a span of a few days all their dreams have died

In tears and sorrow did they both linger

Back in their own worlds, now far from each other

In a few months the girl again started living

As in the other world the man was still waiting

In times of sadness and so much despair

Stare at the wall for there is always someone there

When your world brings you sorrow and in your knees you fall

Always remember there is a man who loves you behind that wall
