The Space Between us

Something lies in the space between us

Something which cannot be denied

Something hides under the shadows

Something profuse and childlike

It wants to empty my stomach sometimes

And other times it just makes me smile

This space that unites us and divide us

All at the same time

What’s invisible to me

Sometimes I sense and feel

What’s eternally deaf to my ears

Sometimes I just hear

I hear it reverberating through the echoes of our veins

A smoke plume floating in the sky

On its crusade to journey here

It speaks all those words dear to me

Taken by all these miles

It reassures me you are alright

In the arms of another

With a bittersweet smile

And if I could just make a wish

Is for you to visit me one day

In these dilapidated ruins of ours

But maybe upon touching, our houses would crumble

And we’d realize the weight of our made up lies

A world that lived only trapped inside our minds

And maybe that’s a caged dream that shouldn’t be freed

Maybe we are better off as broken halves

And this space between us is all we’ll ever have

And everything we’ll ever need

For these beaten hands could never deal

With a second broken heart
