Distance

I feel stuck, I feel trapped, I feel chained to the ground,

with guilt in my chest and no freedom found.

Could I ever leave this place, with pain eating me through?

A reason to live—could it be you?

Distance is killing me, months pass me by,

I feel myself breaking, I’m trying not to cry.

Attached to you deeply, my heart feels so tight,

will you help me stand, will you help me fight?

My will to live fades when you’re not in sight,

the days feel so heavy, the nights never right.

This gap is a rope I keep trying to cross,

each step that I take feels covered in loss.

I feel awful, my mind only drifts back to you,

tell me, my love, do you feel it too?

I hope I survive, I hope I pull through,

so one day at last I’ll be with you.
