Separation Day 1

Original author: Amber M.

                     


The pain of loneliness

That’s what I feel

I’m like Alice in a place so unreal

When we give it the second chance

Our love is torn apart

A restraining order I never even put up from the start

This modern day Romeo and Juliet

Can’t they see what separations done to them?

How could they forget?

A relationship whose basis was built on regret

And to protect our love

We used

Nothing but threats

Now all this has given us is one single thread

That we both hang from

The only way we now connect

And if it were to break I must confess

While I’ve already lost half my mind trying to stay with you

I may as well lose the rest

Because you were the only love I wanted

Even though every time I confided to someone

We were always in some bind

I wish sometimes we could just leave our past behind

But I guess some things let go

And some things stay

And that’s why loves stays so blind

One month of isolation from one another

And after that maybe even a year?

I can’t take it that much longer

That’s why I cry my written tears

And for one year in these four walls I’ll live in fear

That within that year someone might move closer here

Here where you ought to be

Where you once sought to be

If red is the color of our hearts

Then why is the love it emits so blue?

And with these many obstacles

Can love still be considered true?

Because it seems there is someone else

In between me, the hill, and you

But for now I don’t care

I’ll still be there

I’ll still play the tortoise

While you play the hare
