The Great Divide

There is a divide between us
We dont talk anymore
I don't know what happened
Is it a result of the lingering tension?
But that should have ceased
A long time ago

There is a divide between us
Is it a wall, or a canyon?

Canyons are easier
A bridge is all you need

But walls are easier to build
Let the tension grow
No body will know how to get through

There is a divide between us

Leaving many one way conversations
I would say something
You wouldn't respond
I would write something
You wouldn't acknowledge it
It hurts, you know
Being unable to stop your fall
Unable to even speak to you

There is a divide between us
But I built it, didn't I?
I stopped talking to you
I stopped putting in much effort.
Or was it you?
You that stopped responding
You that stopped reaching out?

There is a divide between us
I think wd need to build a bridge
Climb that wall you built
Talk a bit more
Even if it means smiling less
I think we need to do this together
Build this bridge or climb that wall
Because I cant do this alone
And neither can you.
