Love Poem: Start To Finish

Start To Finish

I can feel the distance
we are close and then we're not
you're packing up the reasons
there is one thing you forgot
the miles grow the seasons change
we tried it one more time
you didn't feel the difference
so you change your mind

the violins don't make music
all the strings are broken
I tried to sing you my song
made up of stanzas of hope
I can see the ground
as it rises to meet my heart
now I can see your back
cause we used up all of our starts

we kiss one last time
a hug for what couldn't be
you pick up your bags
one last goodbye to me
the taxi blows the horn
love leaves now diminished
the ground was never fertile
from the start to finish
