New Poem: Distance

Distance between us
Miles and
An emotional stretch
A long road ahead
And each day brings us closer
To the end
To the beginning
Same

Frightening possibilities
Denial?
Or, a happy life?

We are the world's best
At altering reality
To fit our needs
Our desires
If we say it
Doesn't it become true?

The agony of it all
Same old story
Burning my soul
Aching my heart
Needs
Desires

Crimes
Accusations
Allegations
People stare
Whispers
For love
I will withstand

But will we be winners
Or will I be the fool
Who stayed too long
At the celebration
Blinded by the fireworks
