“keep Your Distance” Poem by Pius Mburu

I don’t understand what's wrong with you.
You talk to me like we never meant anything.
You call me like nothing happened this past few weeks
You treat me like I never meant anything more to you
Than a friend……..
You act like you don't care if we were together at all
Like it's my fault cause I'm not ready for anything else

Just keep your distance from me, I just wanna be alone
‘Cause every time you come near me I feel like crying
And since there's no way we can avoid each other anymore
Please don't make this hurt more than it already does
I’d appreciate it if we don’t see each other for a while
I just wanna figure out what’s going on, by myself

There comes a time in life, when nothing makes sense
And we have to sit and talk it all out together
Every time we come to it, you always win
But this time I’m bringing it all in or nothing
And Lord, I hope it goes my way this time
Please don’t try to worry about me, worry about you
Cause I’m tired of fighting and ending up loosing

So just keep your distance from me, I just wanna be alone
‘Cause every time you come near me I feel like crying
And since there's no way we can avoid each other anymore
Please don't make this hurt more than it already does
I’d appreciate it if we don’t see each other for a while
I just wanna figure out what’s going on, by myself

It took me a couple hours and finally came to a conclusion
I’ve realized what love means and what it means to be in it
There’s a lot of commitment to do, and promises to keep
But now times’ spoken and my heart ain’t on you
Forever has finally come for our commitment
And it’s time we speak our minds and hearts

So just keep your distance, from this moment on
Cause now, I’m free and I can fly away, for a new life
That’s longing for someone like me, and I’m gonna find it
So long, my ex-beloved man, thanks for your time
