my wall was built
tall and proud
i sat behind it
scared and crying
hiding from the outside
from my own life
from everything
then someone came
and pushed out a brick
stuck their head in
and said "hi"
and i stood up
and i went to him
and said "hi"
and i knew he was
my rescue
i talked to him
he talked to me
i stopped crying
we talked for days
then he had to go
he promised a return
and kept his word
when he came back
i rushed over to him
i hadnt cried since
i last saw him
i talked and was happy
just to be speaking with
him
my savior from my wall
and he left leaving me a promise
when he came back
he put his head further
into my wall and wanted
to come in a bit more
so we worked together
and pushed out more bricks
and he came in
i showed him all i had
all my fears and problems
and with a single word
he fixed a few
and made some others better
and we took out
a few more bricks
and we let out some
and he left me with a promise
next time he came
i was sleeping
and he came over
and gently woke me up
and i smiled and said "hi"
and he said "hi"
and smiled back
then we heard a noise
and looked about us
and saw my wall
was crumbling
falling
the hole we made had
weakened the structure
as it fell in a cloud of dust
he made a promise and left
he came once more
i was cleaning debris
he helped me
and bandaged my wounds
and left me again
no promise this time
just an "i love you"
of his own sort
he sent letters
but hasnt come back yet
