Distances

Will putting miles
between us
bridge the chasm
of indifference
that grows wider each day

Will travelling farther
help me find the path
that will bring you back

Will my absence
make you notice me
the way you never did
when I was by your side

Each day that passes
draws me deeper
into a maze of questions
from which there is no escape

Perhaps I prefer to stay trapped
in the cocoon of ignorance
than find the answers
that I know await me
