Horizons Banality Poem by grace mariner

I still see you everywhere.
Like we were explorers who traveled the world together,
albeit a small piece of a very large world.
You are out there, in unexplored regions,
battling dragons on your own while I stayed behind,
not allowed to follow.
Forbidden by the demons of other lives lived.
You consume my everyday but like all who lose hope,
I search for you no longer on the horizon.
I see your image, hear your voice, dream of your touch
but have lost all hope of your return to me.
Did I mean that little to you when you meant
everything to me?
My mind knows the answer but my heart can't
bear to here it spoken out loud.
