he looks at her
and the distance
once between them
fades away. for him.
he reaches out
to touch her
but she slowly
turns and walks away
dropping to his knees
his pleas for benediction
the pain he cries
she ignores
says nothing
to keep from lying
he can't understand
it was never forever
but this intimacy
they once breathed
fades away. for her.
