Apart

And we are getting so much farther,
And so much closer,
I can hear you, but you won’t say anything,
Yet when I am screaming, you are deaf to every word,
The distance between our lives seems so jumbled,
Spaces and backspaces,
How can we be nothing and something?
We don’t even have to try to be a mess,
But we need to try to not to,
No wonder you left, with such restrictions,
You were in a cage, and I called it freedom.
