Distance

How can I define
A love that's neither yours not mine
but our's
and the overkill too
that plauged and plunged
the emotion somewhere along the way

In hoping and of wanting more from life

this time

and realizing every tide in the ocean

will reach this shore, for sure

Quiet noises have begun humming

and in this monotony

silence has begun its own encore

Gradual distance and afterthoughts full of doubt

wanting to say what I can't hold on about,

waiting on seed of premonitions to never sprout

hoping to surrender to reason

than the thought of staying without

The break in flow is for both to see

when you don't look back

I can still see

and when you do

I know you don't see

what you're looking to find either

The peripheries have now become the core

what was the surety that this would be as before

and where is the reason that was without doubt

the engine, the fuel and the driving force of my today?

With as many roads as there can be

Walking a mere endless journey

two passengers with no one but

strangers to befriend and disown

distance in our belonging and between the unbelonging

when both are fighting to be dethroned.
