In the poem Mending Wall by Robert Frost the author compares a relationship with his neighbor to the relationship of their yards. He speaks about the separation and how it cannot be fixed and they way it is will always be the same. He says "I have come after them and made repair ,Where they have left not one stone on a stone, " while trying to make amends and repairs to the relationship but it is already to far damaged. The gap is getter wider and will never leave as he says "We keep the wall between us as we go". The authors neighbor will not let the wall down. He is hanging on to it for dear life and will keep it there. This is a somber poem about losing hope in relationships with close ones. Anyone in life can deal with a wall in between them and someone they love and it can never be mended as in this peom.
