Desperation

So oft you were my inspiration,
my support,
yet that I cannot mention.

Will the barrier between us
e’er be dissolved?

The one point of contention,
so simple to remove,
yet I’ve worked at it harder
than all else in my life.

I need your help,
to dig from the other side,
not to shore up against
my work.

Then, with the wall gone,
I can loose my tongue
and confess my love for you.
