Sunday Journal: Number 60

 In this California king bed

We're ten thousand miles apart

And I wonder how we got here
But if I stopped lying to myself
I already know the answer.

The reality is we've never been near.
You hide yourself behind a stone wall.
Telling yourself life is easier when it's just you.

But when you peek around and ask me to come near
you don't realise the hope you stir 

But the shame you carry is deep 
and until you can either accept who you are
or let me go on that journey with you
You'll never really truly mean it
when you say, Please let's try again.
