Walk, Walk with your bare feet to places I've never heard. Lately, I can't seem to feel anything but words. Stand, stand at the crossroads, wonder where you will go. Distance becoming more than space, as I had come to know. But you talk, talk with conviction about everything but me. And I counted for a year. And I cursed the miles between. Distance was my occupation. I tried to measure it with a pen. And so I did not notice the breach between us- the ever present end. The breach that separated you from me, that no amount of closeness would mend.

The Breach
Walk, Walk with your bare feet to places I've never heard. Lately, I can't seem to feel anything but words. Stand, stand at the crossroads, wonder where you will go. Distance becoming more than space, as I had come to know. But you talk, talk with conviction about everything but me. And I counted for a year. And I cursed the miles between. Distance was my occupation. I tried to measure it with a pen. And so I did not notice the breach between us- the ever present end. The breach that separated you from me, that no amount of closeness would mend.
Sometimes being physically close does not mean the same thing emotionally.
