too far. too far.

my hand reaches out

stretching out across a distance of

years and lifetimes in a heartbeat

yet, still, i can't grasp

you.

walking away

too far. too far.

running after you

the lines are deep in my skin

carving fatigue, deeper,

tracing feelings of desperate

hope and love across my flesh

across my lungs (can't breathe)

til it disappears under my heart. ashes of

my heart.

and you are gone in a

heart beat

i can't see you

fading from my vision

like

a whisper of air

as the world slips between

my fingers. like water.
