Wall of Life

Wall of Life

loving you
is just another brick
in the wall of my life
another thing
that draws in the light
another thing that shapes me
it is a shame
that the love does
not set sail or set me free
it is a shame
that you cannot return it for me
loving you
is just another brick
in the wall of my life
another thing
that defines who i am
sometimes I think
and hope people understand
then I start to drink
and sad songs by a band
suddenly start to play
and then, without warning
they descend into a deeper truth

James Garratt – December 2009
