This distance, this chasm
this great divide,
You are falling further away from me
Like the ebb of the
nightly tide.
Lapping at my shores
yet so quickly to retreat,
Like sharing time with the enemy
and never admitting defeat.
As our passion increases
this violent love we share,
Falls apart like time
That has no current affair.
My love for you is
as eternal as the sunshine-
As sweet as nectered fruit
that entice from bended vine.
And like our love
they will decay
If not daily caressed and pruned,
So I will lie in wait for your sun
To chase away my moon.

This distance, this chasm
this great divide,
You are falling further away from me
Like the ebb of the
nightly tide.
Lapping at my shores
yet so quickly to retreat,
Like sharing time with the enemy
and never admitting defeat.
As our passion increases
this violent love we share,
Falls apart like time
That has no current affair.
My love for you is
as eternal as the sunshine-
As sweet as nectered fruit
that entice from bended vine.
And like our love
they will decay
If not daily caressed and pruned,
So I will lie in wait for your sun
To chase away my moon.
