To Tear Down a Wall

i feel a wall
of stones has been
stacked between us

and though i would
very much like to
tear it down

each day i try to
destroy it the sky
starts to rain

perhaps you came once to
break it apart and
failed alone

so i am sorry
for not having
tried any harder

but i bet if we met on
both sides of the wall
we could smash it to pieces
