Have you ever sat in a room with someone Knowing beyond any shadow of a doubt That you’re sitting alone And no amount of small talk, or discussion Will change the fact that you’re both firmly ensconced In a reality that can’t even be imagined in another world At first it aches, the slow tearing of emotion In long thin strips, like a piece of paper Slowly destroyed by bored hands in a classroom, Just waiting for the bell Every interaction becomes a small game Of who will care first Care enough to leave, to put to rest the tired debate Of why we’re here The game just doesn’t end though Always ambling back, refusing to accept That earth and pluto only know each other in passing A small wave to acknowledge the distance With full understanding that To meet Is to invite the end of something precious

Have you ever sat in a room with someone Knowing beyond any shadow of a doubt That you’re sitting alone And no amount of small talk, or discussion Will change the fact that you’re both firmly ensconced In a reality that can’t even be imagined in another world At first it aches, the slow tearing of emotion In long thin strips, like a piece of paper Slowly destroyed by bored hands in a classroom, Just waiting for the bell Every interaction becomes a small game Of who will care first Care enough to leave, to put to rest the tired debate Of why we’re here The game just doesn’t end though Always ambling back, refusing to accept That earth and pluto only know each other in passing A small wave to acknowledge the distance With full understanding that To meet Is to invite the end of something precious
