Sometimes, it
feels like we
are worlds
apart.

Like from Mercury
to Neptune, we
just can't seem
to agree on anything

Like we just are
on different axes,
on different planets,
in different galaxies.

It's frustrating me
to no end, to know
we can't connect.

You always have
something smart to say,
and then I jab back,
and here we are,
fighting again.

What keeps us apart
like ships sailing
in opposite directions?
I know we can find
it in us to make things work.

If you feed the fire with coal,
I'll man this captain's wheel,
and my resolve I will steel.
We will conquer this stormy sea.
