I Build This Wall Brick By Brick

I build this wall brick by brick

mixing my tears and happy memories with the concrete mixture

putting on lotion because you left my hands dry and cracked

wishing they never had to be surrounded by yours

frustrated because the lines will never be clean and straight

tired because building this wall is breaking me down

it's blocking the sun from my eyes and now it's getting cold

I build this wall brick by brick

making some of the bricks stick out so when I need to

I can climb over

and never look back

but I forget that I hid secret messages in the bricks

Then twenty years later I need to resolve them

So I tear this wall down

Brick by Brick
