[bodytext] => Which tool is it to break the brick? A hammer, a chisel the mortar’s too thick Questions and comments to show that he cares Get nothing in return except for cold stares He has tried and tried to find the wedge To pry on a corner to get the edge Her graffiti is written with heartache and pain It could come clean with a fresh summer rain The wall is seamless not even a crack Stupid boy keeps trying; he’s going to come back He’s gone to the shed to find the right tool He’ll try again but not play the fool They say that absence makes a heart grow fond Stupid boy is just thinking out back by the pond There must be a key to the wall of stone It’s hidden deep and it’s all her own If she’d put out the torch and open the wall Stupid boy could come in but not slip and fall Stupid boy is confident predictably true He is sure of himself and persistent too With patience compared to that of a rock He sits and he listens to every tick of the clock Does his patience run thin with every swing of the pick? Or will she give in and give the key to the brick?
