Distance is only a term
Is what I used to tell myself
The ties I had to her, I held firm
Instead of nailing them down to a shelf.
For once in my life, I thought I had it right
Made every right choice to make
Yet, just as I thought there would be no blight
I had to always give, and she had to always take.
I wished to not hurt her
With my attempted words of wisdom
Instead, she poisoned me like a spider
Leaving nights forever cold within the kingdom.
There was a stark difference between her and I
One shrouded in dark, the other shining with light
But, as the days flew, our words becoming dry
It turned out that the light isn’t always eternally bright.
Misery and woe isn’t what I preach
She never listened, though I must beseech
Should one ever cry in despair
Just know that I will always, always be there.
