I sit beside you A thousand miles away, Holding your hand in my heart. I can see your eyes That can only look back To where the sun was hot And your childhood stretched Beyond peace.
Until dreams undid you. Your heart wasn’t big enough For the monstrous three time loss. But the fourth broke you And Hope eloped with Happiness.
Living became coping And you, ever grateful for a nod. In your prison you did your best, But broken tools don’t always mend You were wrong, it turns out - Love isn’t always the answer.
