Denial

You are

Within reach

I can smell you

Hear you breathe

Lean on

Your bare chest

Listen to

Your heart beat

Yet,

In between our bodies

Lives

Exhausting silence

Broken map lines

Dividing wall,

Of barren distance

You are so close

I can feel

Your body burn

Yet,

So far – far gone

On a path

With no return
