FAR AWAY

FAR away.
ALONE.

I’M OUT HERE.
YOU’RE OUT THERE.
I CAN’T BRING US TOGETHER.

In the shallow end of the pool.
Envious of you in the deep end.
Afraid to swim further out…
I can’t swim.

Desperate to dive
Deeper and deeper.
Wanting to mine and plumb
The depths of you.
Shyness forbids me.

Feeling my bones and blood
Tense inside of me.
Wanting to relax and set free
Just like you.

On my side of the glass.
Wishing I could be on yours.
Unable to break through.

Far away.
Alone.
