If Walls Could Talk

If walls could talk dear Mother
You would know dads secrets
Late night business meetings
would be undressed for what
they really were...

If walls could talk dear Father
You would realize that she is heartbroken
Maybe if you just listened
you would hear her most silent cry...

I wish they could talk Mother
you would hear un sterile confessions
Do you not smell the various perfumes?
Do you not see the lipstick stains?
Are you blinded by the view of a different future?

I wish walls could talk Father
What you call fun is dreadful
Since walls cannot talk I will
steadily volunteer myself
As painful as it would be
divorce would be a force forced...
