distant eyes
looking but not seeing
the walls
dividing them
forever.
they once said
just a faltering promise
she could feel him slipping away
yet, she did nothing to stop it
what once filled him with warmth
now left only cold in her wake
and the nights became darker
lonelier together than when apart
the last goodbye didn’t come with tears
just a heavy tug at the heart
a broken smile saying:
“take care”
the distance between them was like an ocean
never to be crossed again
and so with their backs turned, they widened the gap
drifting away in the whispers of the wind
