Sometimes
I
Wish these walls could talk
But
Then I have this thought
What if they could talk
These walls
What would they say
If
These walls could talk
Would they
Cry out the cries of inner turmoil
The sobs of outer pain, anguish and grief
Would they
Repeat the obscenities screamed within them
Point out the inadequacies of the people occupying them
Would they
Share the many scrutinies of the many events
That have damaged these walls
Have bloodied these walls
Have cursed these walls
If
These walls could talk
Would they
Speak on the love made
Would they
Echo the knock, knock, knocking of intimacy
Would they
Continue to play back the asked & answered question
Asked and answered so many times
While exchanging pleasures behind closed doors and drawn blinds
If
These walls could talk
Would they
Tell me I'm a fool
Or would they say that to you
Would they
Tell you to leave
Or maybe they would say that to me
Would they
State the I love yous or
Would they
Harp on the I hate yous
Would they
Tell you "I'm sorry"
Or
tell me "I don't know you"
If
These walls could talk
Would they
Duplicate the fights
Or
Would they
Recap the hugs and cuddles
Would they
Reiterate the discussions of every kind of something
Or
Would they
Retell those times when so much was said
With either one of us saying nothing
If
These walls could talk...
If these walls could talk
They would
Recount the many ways on so many days we said I love you
They would
Reproduce every time I brought happiness to you
And vice versa
They would
Recite the poems I wrote for and read to you
They would
Replay the smiles that were put on my face by you
They would
Reflect on the times when we laid in bed all day
They would
Resound the time when all we needed was each other to get by
And we would have it no other way
If
These walls could talk
They would say
Relationships are problems
It's no doubt about that
But you have something worth fighting for
All records we have from watching you is proof of that
You asked
If
We could speak
What would we say
We say
That which does not kill you
Only makes you stronger
And this relationship is worth fighting for
But you have to take it day by day
And be willing to compromise more
If
We could speak
Would you all listen
If
We could speak
These would be our expressions
Imitate the love that once was
Forget about the hate
Mimic the affection that is
Disregard the fights
Mirror that which made you great
Overlook that that made you feel less than
Quote the many things that make you fall in love
Unlearn the things that don't
These walls
Have spoken
We'll see if you take heed
If
These walls could talk
That's what they would say to me
