The Distance Between Loving and Leaving You
POEM " THE DISTANCE BETWEEN LOVING AND LEAVING YOU" by martin gedge
A waking glance a frozen chance
a failure of the heart
we tried to gain when fault was pain
that tore our vows apart
the will gone lost for what it cost
we could never seem to mend
the tears we cry as passers by
when you lose your closest friend
at times we failed on seas we sailed
two ships against the tide
to fix this place that left a space
with only hurt inside
one goal it seemed to have a dream
a world beyond the fence
the fields to roam a happy home
where everything made sense
the broken piece a love to cease
was never in the plan
but now as two no longer glue
it leaves us where we stand
for what it's worth as sure as earth
as light begins to fade
I cling to hope upon this float
to follow my parade
there is no doubt when looking out
the things I leave behind
will make me strong for ever long
and give me peace of mind
but now as said I made my bed
we learned from our mistakes
and furthermore my distant shore
will ride before it breaks....
