If these walls could talk

If these walls could talk

She left out the back door when I was coming in the front

They would act as a mirror and tell me I’m beautiful

Because they know how many times I’ve cried

They would tell me I’m brave

Because they know between these four walls I hide

They wouldn’t tell on you

Because they keep secrets

They ignore the figures and pictures we hang to hide the ugly of our pride

If these walls could talk

What would they say?

Damn the price I would pay

They would say the way the head board beats them up

Screeches from her cheap painted on finger nails sealed their mouths shut

Or the way you watch him turn of his phone and throw it at you

With the rush of me coming home

The way you show favoritism to me because you seen the way we made love, and made 3 boys

That you grew to love and watch grow up

But just like you walls

I know the truth

But..

She left out the back door when I was coming in the front

They would act as a mirror and tell me I’m beautiful

Because they know how many times I’ve cried

They would tell me I’m brave

Because they know between these four walls I hide

If these walls could talk

They would say nothing at all

Beautiful !
Full of a terrible emotion that we can only
hope to see, rarely do we witness such
honest fire.

I second Sam Davidson's comment,wholeheartedly.

[Jeff Loquist]

Very moving, with a hint of anger overshadowed with the pride and determination it would take in a situation like this. But there is more. There is a sense of hopelessness that sometimes things aren't okay even if they may be better.

... I don't know what to say. You capture something here, a world that's yours. A world that feels, well not hopeful, certainly not hopeful; ecstatic in anger maybe. There's no words for this kind of writing but I'll try; bold, honest, powerful, beautifully simplistic. Sometimes I forget that people can write as well as this.
