Strayed

Strayed

.

I drifted away so far,

a distance reflected in words

rolling between my tongue,

feeling what loneliness holds

every time I drifted apart

when to go it felt so strong.

~

It seems so far away,

weak connections calling me

to return and become the part

left behind somewhere free,

but going back to my dismay

I cannot, too far I drifted apart.
