walls construed

we waltzed on the same ground,
we walked on the same road,

we sang the same rhthym,
we ran the same mile.

perhaps it did not come to mind,
the distant between.

but then the walls were built,
the barriers were created,

you were you.
and i was i.

there was a mirage of a differences,
vaguely drawn,
but clear enough to see.

we may have still walked the same road,
but leading to different ways.
