you

how are you near, yet so far away?

you're within arm's reach but i still reach for you.

you're within walking distance but I still run to you. though i shouldn't have to.

you lay here in this bed yet it feels like you're in a different location. a different setting.

it's setting in.

i'm yearning for your closeness, yet it feels like we're unraveling.

this is really happening.

you tell me i'm thinking too deep but is it that you're not thinking deep enough?

you pretend to love but there's no disguising this hate. i'm running for you but it feels like it's too late.

i'm not sure what i did wrong for me to receive your cold shoulder that i thought i could lean on..

you dust off the remaining frost on my warm love i've been ready to give to you, i thought you still loved me too but instead i caught your frostbite.

i don't understand.

i don't comprehend.

you.

you see me hurting yet you do nothing.

you see i need you, yet you leave me needing.

you see me trying, yet you leave me dying from exhaustion.

this love is dying.

and there's only so much i can take.

as i pray that God can take this pain away, deep down i still want you to stay.

but you're already so far away so our only option is to go our separate ways.

i'll make sure to find the pieces of me i lost in you while walking away.

i'm going.

and i'm going.....

and i've gone away.
