Distance Between Us

A cycle of poems «Your Fragments of a Broken Heart»

Empty coffee cup, sunrise paints the wall
Another morning breaking, answering your call
But the static's thick, a whisper in the breeze
Fumbling with the words, lost among the trees
We built our little world, with promises so bright
Now the miles stretch out, stealing all the light

Oh, the distance between us, a heavy iron chain
Pulling at my spirit, whispering your name in vain
Every single heartbeat echoes in the void
Until we bridge this gap, our joy is unemployed
The distance between us, a constant, aching plea
To find a way back to you, to finally just be free

I trace your silhouette in pictures on my phone
Remembering the laughter, the days we weren't alone
Now the laughter's muted, replaced by lonely sighs
Watching planes fly overhead, against the endless skies
Each one a fragile hope, a wish upon the wind
To carry me to you, to where our hearts can mend

Oh, the distance between us, a heavy iron chain
Pulling at my spirit, whispering your name in vain
Every single heartbeat echoes in the void
Until we bridge this gap, our joy is unemployed
The distance between us, a constant, aching plea
To find a way back to you, to finally just be free

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder true
But I'm just growing weary, longing only for you
We'll find a way to conquer, this barrier so high
With love as our compass, we'll learn to truly fly

Oh, the distance between us, a heavy iron chain
Pulling at my spirit, whispering your name in vain
Every single heartbeat echoes in the void
Until we bridge this gap, our joy is unemployed
The distance between us, a constant, aching plea
To find a way back to you, to finally just be free

Just be free...
Just be free...
Until the distance disappears, just you and me.
Until the distance disappears, eternally.
