He Slowly Drifts Away

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Soka chapter.

Distance isn’t a test it’s a knife

I learned it the hard way

As he slowly drifts away

 

It’s the wind that blows your fragile paper boats down the river

Away from your body and the non-existent heart that floated away with him

As he slowly drifts away

 

The views atop the mountains I conquered took my breath

But it took all my senses to not feel the pain

As he slowly drifts away

 

Distance isn’t a test it’s a wall made of diamond

It’s a barrier between life and death

As he slowly drifts away.
