I built a wall

I built a wall you couldn’t climb

you dared to jump

but it was too high

Sitting on the shoulders of giants

we still wouldn’t be able to tear these bricks

down

and you said it in passing

as the red buses passed us by

Our fingers brushed

but couldn’t intertwine

you looked at me

while I faced the other side

By now,

have you not given up

A patient man

a patient man

I was grateful for your patience

and you were grateful for me

but at what expense?

I built a wall so high

no one could climb

so high

so high

it surpassed the sky
