The Walls Between Us Poem by Reagan A. Latumbo

You are rich,

I am poor.

You are blessed,

I was disown.

You are intelligent,

I was numb.

You are talented

I was not skillful.

You are loved by many,

I was a gangster.

You have family you call your own,

I was the only one left alone.

I fall for you,

Your parents dislike me.

I tried to please them,

But they keep ignoring me.

I know you like me,

I know you care for me,

I know you want to disobey your parents,

I know you love me.

I want to prove to you how much I love you,

I want to tell you that I change myself to be good to you,

I want your parents to know that I can take care of you,

I want to tell the whole world how sincere my love for you.

The wall between us are so high

That everytime I tried, and tried, and tried,

I fall, and fall, then fall a million times.

If I can only destroy that wall, I can love you until the end of the world.

My love, please don't cry,

My love, please understand,

My love, please continue on loving me,

My love, please don't change your mind.

If this will be the last day I am going to see you,

If this will be the last night I am going to kiss you,

If this will my last day before I turned like ashes in the wind,

I would like to say I love you one last time, my love I did not die in vain.
