Barriers

A wall of silence
built with the words
that froze on our lips

We've given it life

For it grows taller
each day that
we don't speak
Our apathy
makes it stronger
dividing our world
into yours and mine

Unnoticed
it has slowly crept up
and now I cannot see you

Has it really been that long
since we talked?
