distance
the distance between you and me is like a bullet to my head

it is the distance that hurts,
not so much that you left.
it is more the unspoken words
than all the promises not kept.
there was never a doubt in my eyes
that you’d be the one to stay.
i wished your warmth to linger by
not to be missing you this way.
it is unfair how these things work.
how one hurts while the other’s unaware.
it isn’t fair how the feelings still lurk
in a mind that doesn’t want to care.
it is frustrating how after all this time
it is enough to make me restless.
even after convincing myself I’m fine
my heart still turns reckless.
the distance won’t go away
but I hope your memories do.
because I know I’ll hurt each day
trying not to love you.
