DISTANCE

Walked in the dark

 

because I was afraid

 

of the morning

 

when it came time to think

 

of those I lost touch with

 

turned the heat high

 

my bed is like a tub of ice

 

I don’t remember

 

what any feelings felt like

 

I came to know

 

the sensation of numbness

 

never again

 

will I offer my warm hands

 

and sitting in the dark

 

awaiting morning

 

the ice numbs

 

at its melting

I know this consuming sense of isolation that you express almost soundlessly yet like a symphony.

I don't know if I really want to walk out of it, even though it doesn't have a shred of comfort in it.
