Staring into each other's
Eyes- watching the
Same movie in sync to feel
Each other across a
Continent-
We carried a different
Divide when we decided
To fall apart in the
Same corner of the room
We stayed for years.
Distance has always
Been a trick.
It's a truth, till it isn't.
An abyss, till it's filled.
It's light with faster speeds
But unable to penetrate
A brooding mind-
It's dead of the dark as
A definitive norm-
A ray of photons was
Always an exception,
Till it wasn't.
Space has always been
Empty until it wasn't.
Silence has always been
Deafening till your
Anklets filled the void.
These sentences,
Turning into footsteps
Somewhere.
Scaling kilometres.
Climbing mountains-
My voice almost reached
You again-
Longing lept barriers to
Pass through your hair.
This heart was always
Empty. It really beat for
You till it didn't.
Apathy here has always
Been a norm.
I thought I had it all
Sorted till your presence
Felt more in your absence.
Distance is a ghost
Desperately wanting to
Be alive.
