secrets of a wall
October 3, 2013
The wall stares silently at me
and I back at it
I wonder how many it has seen
how many times I has stood watching the lives of strangers
They Come and Go
never becoming atatched to it
how lonely it must feel
to know that everyone it Comes in touch with
will eventually Leave and find another
The stains freckling its surface
lets me know that it has secrets of its own
Like scars Left behind
by the carelessness of others
Yet I Keep them there
to remind myself
that those who are no longer with me
will still Leave marks in my heart
