If walls could talk
What kind of stories
Would they tell
To us?
If walls could talk
What kind of interesting
Things would they
Bring up?
If walls could talk
Would they tell of horrors?
Of erotic nights?
Or of dull everyday life?
If walls could talk
What ones would you ask
To share their secrets
To you?
If walls could talk
How would you go about
Asking one about its life
And all it has seen?
If walls could talk
What would they sound like?
Would they sound like a child
Or a wise old man?
If walls could talk
Would they weep at sad stories?
Would they cringe at horrors?
Or would they stand strong?
If walls could talk
Who would listen
To the stories
They had to tell?
If walls could talk
Would anyone even bother
To ask them all they had seen
Or even care?
If walls could talk
Then maybe
Just maybe
Some of us wouldn't be so lonely
If walls could talk
Maybe some of us
Would have a friend
Who would always be there
If walls could talk
Many things would live on
Never to be forgotten
In the waves of time
But walls can't talk
They can't share wondrous stories
Or keep us company
They can't comfort us
But walls can't talk
They can't tell of days gone by
Or forgotten people
And forgotten rituals
But walls can't talk
So I am all alone
In this world where
Everything lasts only for a moment
