Well, my fine young friend, <br />I see you are up against <br />The wall. <br />Are you afraid? <br />'Well, no, not exactly.' <br />Well then, get on with it! <br />'But two hearts will be broken! ' <br />Well, my young friend, may I remind you, <br />You are up against the wall... <br />One of you will simply have to get over it! <br />'May I climb the wall, sir? <br />'May I climb the wall? <br />No, there is no escape there! <br />'But if I surrender sir, if I give in... <br />The consequences could be devastating! ' <br />It's called life my fine young friend, <br />It's called life! <br />'Well, sir, <br />Perhaps I'll just walk away.' <br />Don't you mean run away my friend? <br />'Well, Sir, remember, I am <br />Up against the wall! ' <br />'Love abandoned me here and I am alone and lost, <br />Up against this wall of despair! '<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/up-against-the-wall-2/
