The Distance
I hear her in the distance
Yet cannot see her face
She was here a few hours ago
But vanished without a trace
I remember us talking
About was, when & where
It was the liquor-
Not me, talking
When I told her I didn't care
Soon as I said the words
She was up & on the run
If only I could fix it
To undo what had been done
It's the process of elimination
That's tearing me apart
With one fell swoop
Gone is my lover & my heart
Loneliness is a brutal way of being
Sadness & depression light the way
Self-destruction lurks in my house
I don't wish it to stay
I hear her in the distance
Yet don't seem to give a shit
I barely remember her leaving
Right after she threw a fit
What was that she said?
What was my reply?
Take another drink
Release a thoughtful sigh
