The distance between us

Life is a delicate balance

That come with a painful fall

It’s perilous and scary

It encompasses us all.

When life is out of balance

there is chaos and grief

gripping loneliness and sorrow

needs you refused to see.

We fight the same battles

of time, wants and needs

Yet I always give it to you

but you never give it to me.

I don’t know what it is

that makes us want to stay

but how much do I have to take

before I just walk away?

The differences between us

What we want, how we feel

Doesn’t seem to connect us

like it did once before.

I feel the distance between us

it makes me question me, you, us

I want your love, your touch

I want you to want me just as much.

I look for the connection

that we once shared

As I watch it fade into the mist

I question all of it.

Did it ever really exist?
