Damp

Nothing hurts more than distance

& I can feel it in your stare

the stale air that now separates

our hearts

 

Maybe its me

& its all my fault

I halt my feelings

for no reason at all

 

There's bitter sadness in my bones

& the tones of your laugh

no longer light the strings

of fuses in my heart

 

I'm soggy and damp

& became champ

of shutting out those

that mean the most to me

 

Matches no longer strike

& I hike to feel

to feel something

anything at all

 

I need to hang to dry

& learn why

my soul has folded

in upon itself
