The Divide

Do you feel it? The divide? The chasm that runs between us? Do you sense it growing? Standing on opposing sides Screaming to be heard. To be understood Desperately trying to build bridges We could fill that chasm with our love Right to the brim Almost to overflowing. Overwhelming But still we can not seem to cross Can't even meet in the middle We hear echos of our discontent that were once drowned out by our kisses Vexations muffled by shared caresses now barely remembered Can we love enough to fly over the void? Or will we fail and fall? Fall into the depths of our differences Plunge into the parts of us that can not change Drown in our discord My deep endless love is inexhaustible but I'm not without limits The edge is so close Denial is my greatest friend The refusal to be broken But the cracks are showing in us both Growing wider with every battle Breaking us apart Tearing our fragile hearts to pieces Disconnecting our appreciation Provoking our divide Do you feel it?
