| I was just crawling into bed the other night, laying there trying to get comfortable... Which seems impossible as of late but whatever... And the first lines of this poem pop into my head. I tell you everything, you tell me nothing. I don't know where it came from... it just appeared. I laid there just thinking about the whole statement and the title came to me not long after. 'The Stone Wall'. After that, the rest just flooded right in. And regardless of the fact that I didn't write this through bad memories and angsty thoughts, I'm very proud of this poem. It's one of my favorites.... As an added note! I had my mother read this before I posted it. I'm waiting patiently for her to finish then she looks at me with one of those "who the hell are you?" looks. Sils: What?! Mom: You have deep thoughts. Sils: I can't help it! |
| I tell you everything You tell me nothing... I lie to you You don't mind... I hit you, it hurts You stand still for another shot... I walk all over you You hold me high... I lean on you You support me... I leave you You wait patiently... I come back You've fallen... I put you back together You shield me... I age You age with me... I die You wait for me... |
