BEHIND THE WALL
The wall was adorned with an ornamental clock
She noticed it more often these days, tick tock
Was it speeding up, slowing down, mocking her
She hated to pry but she had finally had enough
♠
The wall was concealed in a dingy felt covering
It was green wallpaper with a swirly foil coloring
It was older than ancient, yellowed by memories
She steeled her nerves for the final reveal
♠
The wall was thin as evidenced by his voice
Colorful demands in a variety of his choice
His menacing complaints verging on rage
She shouldn’t dare but her heart said care
♠
The wall came down with one small knock
Her determination was solid, hard as a rock
The monster that lived beyond that wall
Never had expected HER to cause his fall
