Like two sinking ships,
Passing in the night,
Our fingers briskly touch...
Like hopes and dreams destroyed,
so is my faith.
I love a man,
Who is so often ripped from my arms.
Like claws ripping through flesh,
I feel myself falling away...
Farther apart are our souls,
Although his presence is known.
It is not his fault,
He is not to blame-
For this life is what brought him to me...
This ever looming absence,
Has always been present.
Still, I feel disconnected,
As a clipped winged bird does of the sky.
Two equals one,
And half of me is missing.
I long for the day,
When I no longer wait-
The day when the distance grows short,
And the days not as long.
