matched sorrow
spread across the distance
thinned heart
of your absence
i think it hurts more
to be aware of a possibility
were there a change
bearings behind us
not keeping us at bay
but it does not quiet
my eyes seek you
i long for your whisper
i am torn by what you say
and what i wish to convey
your sadness hurts too
deeper than you know
for now we are open
but have no place to go
