Wall
I stand tall, with open roof, sometimes with closed roof(ceiling, they call it).

Am made of bricks and cement, sometimes with hedges of grass.

Most pretend to overlook my presence, but I am a fixture, am always there.

I see it all from the little secrets of the bed room to the lustful couples on the grass.

With excruciating emotional pain, I see it all, but am created to control my emotions without reactions.

Pop stars wished I could talk, but why must I talk? Why must I spill the bean, the secrets of the love jokey?

I was made to keep secrets and secrets I will keep till I breathe my last and collapse when am demolished or mowed down.
