From a distance
By
Jude Kyrie

*I always loved you
but only from a distance
I knew you could mend me
with all my broken parts.
I knew you could fix me
like brand new.
But I also knew
you would leave me.
leaving me broken
in a million pieces.
Your heart was filled with
thunderstorms and tempest
that became quietened
in your spirit.
leaving you with breath
like gentle spring rain
rain that fell over me relentlessly.
I thought I was made of rock
but rock does not feel pain.
