The Wall

the wall comes down for a moment

and I am glad

yet minutes fly by like seconds

and once again, it is up

before my chance to discover more about you

time has defeated me once more

little by little, bit by bit

I chisel down this wall

yet I know not if it will be rebuilt

it stays up for days

it comes down for only a few fleeting moments

the future is unknown

the present fleeting

the past, the only thing real

and it torments

shall we bring down this wall 

of ignorance together

and try in vain to transcend time,

loving one another 

for the few remaining seconds we have left?
