So I Said, "Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder."

"Distance."
The world resounds
In my chest cavity,
Growing denser and denser
Until I can feel it
Crushing my lungs.
My heart is with you,
But you're so far away…
Heartstrings were never
Meant to stretch this far.
They're in pain every time
I think of how I cannot
Touch you.
God, I want to
Touch you.
I want to feel your
Hands in my hair,
Your face in my neck,
Your nose on mine.
Heartstrings were never
Meant to stretch this far…
Every second more I am
Away from you
Brings them closer to staying
Stretched past their limits,
Until I know their elasticity
Has disappeared
And I am stuck with you.
Happily, I'll be stuck with you.
