Separation

Separation

We live in the same town
Separated by a river
This detachment brings me down
Haunting me wherever

We face the same weather
We travel over the same roads
Our hearts still beat together
Yet I carry these loads

It has been much too long
No way is found to make it right
This separation feels wrong
It keeps me up at night

I choose not to reach out
I reside in my own anger
I carry way too much doubt
I am blind to danger

Our souls remain apart
I claim to be situated
Denying life from the heart
Staying disconnected
