I raced from the space you held

As I begged myself not to fall apart

Your honest words cut like a blade

I promised myself from the start

I wished to take it back

Every hour dwelt with you

Yet my soul still yearned to have you near

As the danger of being alone settled in

You the person to whom I’d always turn

And I’d gotten too comfortable depending

On someone who could never love me

In the way my heart beats for you

And so I feel myself surrounded

By a million shades of green

And I feel like I am drowning

In the rain that pours with ease

But my legs begin again to flee

I know I cannot look back

At the joy you brought and the things you said

It kills me just too bad

Like a knife twisted in my back

Like a life of verbal attacks

You asked to spend your life with me

Always with a two meter gap.
