Closer

I know you’re empty, I know you’re spent. But believe in this, please believe in this. It scares me to write it and it scares me to mean it cause I’ll let you down, I’ll fail somehow.

Yet I feel a peace with you next to me. I can believe when you’re next to me. That this will work out, that the loneliest times are nothing now but memories and false reprieves. That we’re closer to how life was meant to be all along.

At Arm’s Distance

I might pull her close but she stays just out of reach. And I understand why but it’s pulling strings inside of me. I start to think and then I sink into myself when that’s the last place I want to be. I’ll just give her time, take it night by night and I’m sure I’ll see that the distance she keeps will give way to meaning. That over time she’ll show me inside to a world I’ve never seen.
