Distancing
/Silence separates us
Echoing across spaces
Between fingertips
Which no longer touch
Whilst our souls drift as dust
Ethereal motes sinking
Specks slowly settling
Lost in the dark gap between us
Forged bonds, weakened, fray and tear
Unmooring our foundations
Rusting, splitting, sundering
As coiled time unwinds
Regrets and recriminations
Sharp as blades, cleave and part
Cutting our last connections
Loosing ties which no longer bind
Until finally, where once was one
A melding of hope and purpose
Now stands two, apart
Shooting stars, unaligned
Thus, with love’s hopes lost
Our severed hearts diverge
As we walk down different pathways
Towards distances without end
