Here I stand upright
in the middle of nowhere.
On either side,
a black void.
Where am I?
I see two people,
one on each side,
looking quite distraught.
They both look,
but I stretch on to infinity.
What am I?
They look at each other,
as if I didn't exist.
Do I exist?
The man looks up,
but I tower to infinity.
The woman's gaze follows his,
but the man lowers it and shakes his head in despair.
They both touch me.
I do exist,
but I am an obstacle.
I wish I could open up
and let them unite,
but I have no door.
Why must that be?
The man turns away,
the woman averts her gaze.
Why is he leaving?
He returns with a large object in his hand.
The woman gasps and walks back.
What is he doing?
He charges at me,
and I finally understand.
He rams and he rams,
but I'm too sturdy.
He drops to the ground,
tears in his face.
Where am I?
In a place of nonexistence.
What am I?
I am a force
that keeps them apart.
Do I exist?
I do not know.
I am an obstacle.
Why must that be?
I am a wall.
That's all I am.
