Remind me
Why I asked you to go
Why I asked you to say goodbye
Why I asked you to leave me alone
Remind me why
And why, why, why
You happily obliged
Remind me
Why I asked you to go
Why I asked you to say goodbye
Why I asked you to leave me alone
Remind me why
And why, why, why
You happily obliged

Every breath I take
Leads me further
Further from the
Love we made
From stolen
Moments
Shared
From each
Memory
Every breath I take
Leads me closer
Closer to a
Heart set free
Where you
No longer
Have a place
Where you no longer
Inspire the words
From inside of
Me

There is a journey I’m walking
Walking alone
The path is marked out
To futures unknown
Long distance between us
Stretches ahead
The hours that separate
I patiently tread

It has been nearly two years since I last returned ‘home’. A loved one said to me that he dreams about me at night. Distance separates so that others dream of me, as I dream of my mother who has long passed away. And yet I am still alive. Often we hear or even say, the world nowadays is connected and has become so small. But yet, when souls are separated, the world doesn’t feel small at all. It feels as if there are great chasms that exist, insurmountable to pass.
I am here
You are there
We are apart though
Never in heart
It has been so long
Since I heard your voice
An eternity has passed
Since I felt your arms
A gulf separates your
Eyes and mine
Will I ever see you again?
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Secret Santa.”
I would give my father
Whom I never see
Being worlds apart
A private health fund
So he could get
The health he needs
To visit in Sydney
And meet the grandkids
He doesn’t know
