The Space Between Us

You asked for space As of the space you placed between us Wasn't already an ocean wide I obliged.... Not once, but twice And did so with the truest of intentions Believing that strengthening yourself Would somehow strengthen us Or atleast reflect the goodness of my heart You took my heart Along with my candy kisses Kept them for just the amount of time needed Until the golden goose you imagined, The one you thought could solve every thing Failed to arrive on time And then it was time to move on Move away, hurrying and hurting So blatant in your decision That you left your empty suitcase behind One last thing for me to dispose of To free up space in my shattered heart And lighten the load you carried eleswhere And with a nod you rounded the corner Of the next great adventure you hope to find Sending me notice that you're doing well Well on your way to your new everyday Where I no longer exists My photograph already faded, forgotten Not even a memory you care to preserve For a time when only I understand the loneliness That comes form having way too much space And wishing for a glimpse of love's face
