Life Through Poetry

I Can Go the Distance

I'm sorry
That I didn't think it through.
I'm sorry
It has nothing to do with you.

But big city to podunk town
Before something can start?
Big city to podunk town
Is a little too far.

Mere letters
Just for nine years.
Mere letters
Aren't effective stained with tears.

I forfeit
This little time I have with you.
I forfeit
The war fought by few.

A trial of hope
In a time of need.
A trial of hope
Too late to succeed.

I'm so sorry.
I wish I could stay.
I'm so sorry
I have to leave it this way.

But big city to podunk town
Is just too far away.
