This is what I want to say to someone close to me, but he's too stubborn to hear anything I say. He knows he's stubborn and that he shouldn't be, but no matter what I try I can't get through to him and writing this made me want to cry. I'm not really brave enough to tell him, I just hope he figures out how to change on his own, because if he doesn't then it's all for nothing. Sorry for writing one that's so personal, but I need to say this to someone and have them understand.
- Wordsmith

a wall of clear glass
stands between you and me,
unfractured, unbroken,
too perfect for you to see;

my palm is pressed close
and you're standing so near,
but the wall blocks what I say
from your deafened ears:

encouragement, help,
hard love, tears--
you still can't see,
so I might as well disappear;

it's twisting me in knots,
the wall of glass that's here,
the wall that you constructed
because of all your fears;

I scream and kick and bash and hit
at the wall that will not break,
yet you keep your back still turned,
maybe loving you was a mistake;

a wall of glass still stands
clearly between you and I,
I know that you now see it
yet you still will deny,

every word that I say,
every attempt that I make
to sway your mind's eye--
loving you was a mistake;

please take this last chance
that I'm giving you now,
to hear from my words
and break your solemn vow

that is the glass wall
you constructed between
my love and your mind,
between you and me.
