This space

Where is this space
between you and me
where you once said
would lie our destiny?


Is it drowned in the lake?
Burned in the flame?
Is it poisoned by a snake?
Lost in this pain?


I can't find it
No matter where I look.
You once read me
like an open book.


Now the library is closed,
the old bookshop gone.
And I'm straying through the city
Finding no joy and no fun.
