So Far Away Poem by Maya Reid

You swear that you’re not
Cheating on me
But even if it’s only
In your head
You can’t call that fidelity
And you say that there is
No one else
Even so, I wanna know
Why your eyes look so far away.

I’d rather have
None of you
At all
Than to try to be
Happy
Having half
Of the man I love
Your body is here
But is she the reason
You soul seems so far away?

I read her name
In between the lines of your words
I hear how you desire her
In the undercurrents of everything you say
And I know that her beautiful face
Is the only image that fills your brain
Your brain that is so far away.

So goodbye
Get out.
Leave!
Go to her,
And be happy,
Because I know that she
She is the reason
Your eyes look so far away.
