So Far Apart Yet So Very Close Poem by Samantha Rak

So Far Apart Yet So Very Close



So far apart 
And yet I still see your face
Hear your voice
Feel your breath
Your memories keep me going through the day
They haunt me through the night
Why are you so far?
And yet I can hear you right next to me
Is it that I can no longer live like this?
A life where you are there and I am here
That my mind plays tricks on me?
I see you laying next to me
And I long to touch you again
But every time I reach for you
You aren't there
It's like you never were
But I still see your face
Hear your voice
Feel your breath 
Where did you go that I can still feel you
And yet I cannot
What happened that I only see a ghost of what you used to be?
Why are we so near yet so far apart?
Like death has come and separated us
But you aren't dead
Are you?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
So I wrote this right before I feel asleep and it holds quite a bit of meaning to me, as does all of my poetry. I just so happen to have fallen in love with someone who is pretty far away from me and we never see each other. He's not dead, though death always puts a nice twist to poetry if I do say so myself. I hope you enjoyed this and there is definitely more to come. If you didn't enjoy it, I'm sorry maybe you'll like a different piece of mine.
Cheers :)

I have felt the very same way before sometimes to the point I would of never wanted to meet that person so I can not feel empty all the time but the pain goes and soon all you will hear is faint whispers that will turn to nothing in time but it will level out and soon you will hear or feel nothing towards that person. Stay strong and try your hardest to remember what you can and move on from it. :)
