distance

we’ve become distant
our love buried in the sand
unable to withstand
the ocean’s fluctuations
even with so much insistence
we failed at basic compliance
being subjected to lust’s obedience.

we’ve become distant
as I feel loneliness’ hand
pressing hard on my heart’s cadence
I never stood a chance
we did not devise any back-up plans
for certainty brimmed within our stance.
little we knew of our disposition
we were blinded by others’ attention
distance creeps then I falter
unable to speak, silence’s weight keeping me under.
