Wall of Time

There cannot be enough time

To separate the distance between me and you

I built the wall but there are cracks

And wisps of you are seeping through

-

The barricade is not strong enough

To hold back images of your face

And ever since you walked away

I tried everything to erase it

-

Still you take out the chisel now

And carve yourself into my dreams

So I break out the mortar now

And quickly try to patch the seams

-

There cannot be enough time

To separate the distance between me and you

I built the wall but there are cracks

And wisps of you are seeping through

-

I thought I could be cured

But you are imprinted on my mind

Like graffiti you have vandalized

The barrier of space and time

-

In desperation I want to be alone

A solitary existence is better than

One with you in it

Torturing me like no one else can

-

There cannot be enough time

To separate the distance between me and you

I built the wall but there are cracks

And wisps of you are seeping through

-

You make me remember

The harder I try to forget

And every time you breach the wall

I wish we had never met
