PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

we are fading like emptiness

I can feel the nothing creeping in and out of your

words

and it hurts some as words were all we ever really

had

and slowly you are taking even them away

I guess you can't help the distance

that builds itself up higher and higher between us

I am not free I have no right to hurt

about anything you do

and yet my heart feels raw

you say you are not backing away

but I feel the broadening of that distance

emotional distance that is

I used to feel so close to you

now I feel like an afterthought

or perhaps a crutch

or maybe a bit more sweetly than all that

perhaps a minor distraction

I have no right at all to say this

but sometimes I wish I meant a hell of a lot

more to you

there, I said it

now I can go have a good cry and feel better for

having been as honest as I can

standing knee deep in this loss

as I am

and sadly so heart sore.............
