Blankets of Fear

There is a wall built
between you and I
that should be broken down
but you won't take it apart
and my tools are still
in the shed

There is an ocean created
between you and I
that should be sailed
but you boat is being repaired
and mine
has been sold

There is a distance
between you and I
that should not be there
though we cannot break it
or maybe we can

Maybe there is nothing
or there is something
between you and I
but we're here
in blankets of fear
