There Are Walls Between Us

brother, there are walls between us
needles of rain between our faces
when i touch your hand
you seem so far away
like an island to another island
without a boat
just a telescope.

you expect too much, like the way you want me
to devote all the attention you need:
every need,
every discomfort,
every uneasiness,

every asking ungiven seems to be unforgiven
i resign.
i stop
from this unfair brotherhood
that you
impose upon me

there are walls and walls that you are building now
and i cannot see and hear you anymore
you built them
i won't destroy them and i will not ask the reasons why

we deserve a distance, a far away distance, perhaps
for us to rethink
what brotherhood is all about

it is not a one-way traffic i suppose so
you must understand it as i do

i am going inside this road with my own car
you take yours and we meet halfway

keep those walls, they are yours
i keep this road, this bridge, this open space
