Along the Wall-Side

 
She walks along a broken wall
No one wants to see her fall
She knows the wall will never last
But still she walks on-standing tall.
 
The wall was broken in the past
Yet  it is truly never asked
If  walls can hold a girl so light
We simply give the wall this task.
 
To hold a girl so light and bright,
To keep her standing in our sight,
 Soon I hear a cracking rock,
I know the situation's tight.
 
Her time stops – clock' s tick tock
 I forever live in deepest shock
For when I see that pile of rocks
I never dare believe the clock.
