Walls

You put your walls up,
and I wrote love letters
with graffiti on them,
painted murals
that told sacred stories,
I watched the murals
play back like an old romance movie,
where you pretend to love me.
I stepped into the brick screen,
the alternate reality
where you reciprocate my love.
You put your walls up
and I learned to
live with it and love it.
I hope you keep them up,
my movie hasn’t ended yet.
