Mirage

a poem by Sunshine Anonymous

Every time
I try harder than before
But the distance between us
Forever seems to grow

You keep on going away
Filling me with nothingness, despair you spray
Yet the distance between us
Persists, to my dismay

A mirage, you seem to me
A silhouette so hard to see
A desire I have, to feel you, hold you
And so, the distance between us I wanna bridge

You’ve made me a recluse
Loneliness I effuse
Still, the distance between us
I can’t seem to reduce
