This Distance; Dust In My Eyes Poem by David Corman

My Blood is Becoming Slower
But, I Feel No Different
My Breathe is Thinking
As if it Can't Decide

I Feel Like I've been Walking for Hours
On Some Desert
I've Come to an Oasis
The Water is Sweet
This Water is Sweet
I Don't Feel it Though

I Looked at Her Smile
I Felt Her Shiver
I Wanted for Her to be Warm
I Wanted that So Much
Her Touch On Mine
Like Drinking Sweet Water

I Can Look Out and See my Hopes
However Far They May be
I Can See Them
I Still Love Them

I Can't Help Myself
My Blood is Becoming Slower

But, I Feel No Different

My Breath is Thinking

As if it Can't Decide

This Girl
She Makes me Feel Distant
Apart From Everything
I'm Shivering Now
But, I'm Inside

I Feel as if I am Standing on Soft Grass
With Dust Blowing in my Eyes
I Look Away and See Her
Time Slows
But, My Blood Quickens



It Took Me So Long
