Poem: "The Distance"

"The Distance"

Night is in bloom now
the stars streak across the sky
as the world is quiet
sleep does not come calling
the dream fades into

Jaded shards of black
broken glass and hollow screams
the bed, once warm and comforting
is now forlorn and desolate

I cannot give you
whatever it was you wanted
I cannot sing the lullaby
to tame your restless heart

All I ever gave was my love
and that was not good enough
please let me waste away
in the bitter taste of my sea of woe and regret

For if forever may come too late
my soul shall never see
the heaven that was to be
you and I.
