Apart, Together Poem by Maya Hanson

Eight days,
my time has slowed
to a
crawl
waiting for your touch…
apart.

The lonely has built walls around me,
every second I almost let it in
until I remember how I am with you,
I know we need to break for a minute
to bend so perfectly again…
apart.

So I find the top of the hill
to try to find you by the stars
from miles away…
apart.

Drive me wild,
lead me to the crystal,
to the chasms I can't leap
without you there…
together.

You have showed me
how I can shiver,
how this heart can break in bliss…
together.

Time to miss you like melting
and still love the candlelight,
miss you like a fury
and keep finding my footprints,
miss you like a shotgun
and learn how I don't fall apart,
time to shut the door for a moment,
see if it opens back up…
together.
