To Build A Wall
Hilda Oct 2019
To build a wall
when all you want
is to be one

To break a heart
when all you want
is to be loved

The sun is rising
a new day’s dawning
all looks the same
yet all has changed

The wind it blows
to change the world
please make it stop
I can’t be heard

The solid things
will stay the same
while all the rest
will blow away

My heart is running
my mind is hiding
a part of life
is what they say

But who can tell
what you can do,
whom you can love?
who you can be?

We give, we take
til' something breaks
will life ever  
be the same?

Once more we tried
once more we failed
never gave up
always gave in

No words to speak
it’s all been said
myself to blame
I turned away

With sorrowed hands
I built our grave
a sentence passed
you swung the sword

A last goodbye
a heartfelt cry
but I have hope
we’ll live once more

Anger
Hilda Oct 2019
Anger pivots
Coming by surprise
Slowly reaching
Hits you when your down

Nowhere to turn
Whole world against you
How can I learn
Please sooth my aching

Somebody there
Calling my name
Come, please return
Do hear my prayer

Feels like I’m falling
Inside is breaking
Oh what it’s aching
Can’t see I’m shaking?

Then as from nowhere
A light starts shining
Someone who loves me
Won’t let me forget

How can I thank you?
Hero of the day
Words can’t pronounce
The love I feel for you

— The End —
