The distance is what makes it so hard To be here, so far away from your side To be here, as if snared in the lies That you miss me as I long for times gone by. To know what I had… To let it all go... Your smile, your laugh and your touch To know they are gone, never to return It tears me asunder, it saps my soul... The realization is what makes it so hard To know that you were never mine I could have had it, but I couldn’t grasp It slipped my fingers, how could I be that blind?! The shadows are what make it so hard To let go of your memory and bury you in the past I feel it clawing at me, it is screaming so loud It won´t let me forget and it brings me down under its weight As I measure this sadness in pounds My failure streches on for miles And liters of tears flow from my eyes If only I could purge these hours from time... And it is there, as it has been since the first day The emptiness, the silence, the space As time ebbs away, and life goes on Mine came to an end The moment I let you go.

The distance is what makes it so hard To be here, so far away from your side To be here, as if snared in the lies That you miss me as I long for times gone by. To know what I had… To let it all go... Your smile, your laugh and your touch To know they are gone, never to return It tears me asunder, it saps my soul... The realization is what makes it so hard To know that you were never mine I could have had it, but I couldn’t grasp It slipped my fingers, how could I be that blind?! The shadows are what make it so hard To let go of your memory and bury you in the past I feel it clawing at me, it is screaming so loud It won´t let me forget and it brings me down under its weight As I measure this sadness in pounds My failure streches on for miles And liters of tears flow from my eyes If only I could purge these hours from time... And it is there, as it has been since the first day The emptiness, the silence, the space As time ebbs away, and life goes on Mine came to an end The moment I let you go.
I edited this poem so much that I think it deserves a re-release, hopefully its better than the original version! I´m thinking of unlisting the originals just to not spam my stream with what is basically, the same poem over and over again, but we´ll see what happens
