A wall of my own

But then, sometimes at night, you pull me close,
wrap your arm around me and let me feel your desire . . .
But it´s not me you really want - it always shows:
I am merely there to douse a momentary fire.

Yet my own needs don't let me push you away and leave,
instead I hope each time anew to get past that wall -
at least for a moment, long enough to be free to give
you what I have, what I can... everything... all...

But each time anew that hope is blown,
so each time anew I build stone upon stone

A WALL OF MY OWN
