There is nothing between us anymore Not even those three yards of cold linoleum As we walked on opposite sides of the hall The distance has dispersed and now our silence exists there alone Not even mused by a dream of further endeavors There is a dead end plopped betwixt us I cannot raise my glare to meet yours because I know Somewhere, deep in my heart There is nothing there for me anymore
*How can a flame sparked in the damp Ever survive without being tramped?
