Subscription Expired Poem by Matthew Densley

Gone are the faces that I once saw
And silent, the voices that I once heard
The bridges of old that connected us all
Burned down and vanished with no spoken word

Now all we share with each other is distance
Yet both of our rivers flow to the same sea
The love that I had is still in existence
And nothing could ever take that from me

I hate that my mind had pushed you away
And could not give the attention required
I hate that I let you wander and stray
My favorite subscriptions - expired

Has too much time passed to simply say 'Hi'?
Could we ever connect as we did before?
Is there a way to reverse a goodbye?
Will I ever hear your voice once more?
