We walk divided.
I glance at you.
There is a void in between.
It swirls as you shift away.
This cannot be. I scream.
You hear my vain efforts
as little more than noise.
The distance is numbing.
A glance is returned
but the flame in my heart
will not spark again.
Absorbent void all around
severs every connection.
I walk alone.
