Separation

I wish that I could touch your hand

or smooth the creases in your brow.

I wish I could support your stand,

but I honestly do not know how.

You have pushed me to the outer edges,

to the fringes of your daily life,

and no matter how I mend the hedges,

the things that separate us, remain rife.

So, let me ask you this final question

before I finally accept my own defeat;

can you hear me when I mention

that you’re the rhythm of my heartbeat?

If you could find a stronger love elsewhere,

I would gladly set you free to go

to find someone who would deeply care

about the man I love and got to know.

Yet, you should know this steadfast truth;

my love is not the foolishness of youth.
