WALLS PLACED BETWEEN
To sleep…perchance to dream
I shudder as the words resonate throughout
my mind.
I am pursued by ghostly visions of terror more frightenly than those in my daylight hours.
I awake screaming out his name.
Reaching for a man
I know is not there.
Slowly as I come back to reason
remember those painful words that were spoken
between us
That you wanted me to be free
to explore the universe
to love
without restraints.
I don’t want your logic
I want to scream out
kick out at those walls
you’ve placed between us.
I want you back my friend
like you were before…
before you placed walls between us.
I want those loving touches
gentle caresses
passionate nights.
I want you with me
as we both stumble on the stones
that cross our paths.
I want you with me when we touch
those tiny points of light in the sky.
Don’t you understand my friend
it isn’t what I do that is important
it’s you.
I want you with me in anything that I do…
Without you in my life
I am nothing.

So sad. People for good or ill sometimes put walls from stop feeling love or compassion of others. We see a view of what it's like for the people who want the walls down to get to them. Excellent work.
