Someone on the Other Side of the Wall

You're like someone on the other side of the wall

The opposite of where I am

I hear you talk of silly things

Laugh at stupid jokes

Wail so hard that tears come out of your eyes

Though I can't see that

You're like someone on the other side of the wall

With your little circle of friends

I hear them say stuff

About their lives and yours

I want so much to laugh and cry with them

But I know I can't

You're like someone on the other side of the wall

Going about your self centered life

Living your side of the world

Never dared or never cared to look

For who's on the other side

I'm that someone on the other side of your wall

Who has heard enough to care

For that person on my other side

That you may not know, 

That was YOU. 

I want so much to reach out

Or maybe just look at

The person I have been hearing

But the wall is too high

The barrier too strong

To be broken down

You're like someon on the side of the wall

When I wish so much to touch you

The only thing I feel

Is the wall itself.
