Poetry: Symmetry and Reflections

Between Us

the space between us makes a rift

one huge and yet unseen

it covers everything I know

over edge and every seam

it makes it difficult to bond

and bring us close in heart

if only we were already close

early, from the start

if only i could close that gap

and keep us two entwined

I'd keep you near, for a better view

and see you well defined

the quickest point for this space is from A to B

but I'd like to rather think of it

as the distance from you to me

The time between us hurts my heart

not knowing when we'll be

i just know what was, but not what will

in my eyes, no future seen

with hurt before I'm just not sure

where to swim to find that shore

and can I trust to walk through that door?

when so many have been closed before?

I'm not too patient but i have to learn.

yet feels so hard when passion burns

but when will my bent heart begin to break?

when will one too many "no's" seal my fate?

and give up all efforts, so nothing's at stake

and keep my sanity for heart's sake

the unknown between us scares me to death

in anticipation I hold my breath

not known where we're at,  I'm at a loss

find a way through your bridge that I just can't cross

but its hard to do when unsure if its there

yet there's something to us, I just know it, I swear

just need to reach you, so I'm sure to see it

but your silence deafens me, I can't hear  or feel it

there's so much to you that I just don't know

what is it you hide, and what will you show?

this anxiety over this comes in droves

so i just need patience, let seed slowly grow

I'm just so afraid to take the step
and reveal how i feel

chances are you already know, but won't reveal

I'd almost rather be hurt, than stuck here in limbo

if there's no space or time for us, I'd rather just know

and let the unknown be nothing, so i can move on

and this nothingness between us can tread a new dawn

this nothingness between us

Is it the place that I lie?

somewhere or anywhere that's not by your side?

yet i can't give this up , I'm not really sure why

there's something about you I just can't deny

something about your smile, that feels so warm

I feel like I'm home and there's calm to my storms

something about that glint in your eye

that's so full of wonder and keeps me alive

something about the cadence and sound of your voice

that makes me enthralled, as if no other choice

something about your presence that makes me feel weak

I hate this power that makes me so meek

that makes me overthink and drives my heart to the brink

the little stupid things that makes my heart sink

when really it's nothing , just stupid emotions

that drown me as if I'm tossed in the ocean

finding every and any negative notion

so give me solace, some sweet release

to the bitter expectations that slowly increase

only the future holds the answer to making this cease

I can only move forward and move forward with trust

to unlock this key to what lies between us
