I the Wall

Secrets one may hide
within me, those of your life...
I will never tell.

Stories written on your skin, Drawn and etched into your hide, Told and cried throughout the night.

Takes two to have this solidarity of trust. A stalwart message to a friend. Succinct, Harry.

So few words, but so very accurate. So many secrets hidden within the walls. Glad mine can't speak. Another excellent piece Harry

Walls don't have a mouth. They will never tell your secrets. Good write Harry.

I Robot, I pod, I pad, now I the wall. :) I like it. Four walls are all that's keeping the ceiling from becoming the floor. If not, we would get trampled.
