In Life There May Be A Distance

Her game was open
for interpretation.
She often expressed
her displeasure
at the life
she was surrendering.
So we talked all night
to plan our demise
and went to sleep
interested only
in distance.
She lead a busy life.
It was full of
distractions
which she used to
keep her away from
real life situations.
We woke up the
next morning and agreed
that the night before
never happened.
So off we went to
out different lives
lived
in harmony with
one another.
She pictured a
new beginning
but did not feel
like pushing the button.
When we sat together
the next night we
pretended that the
television was the
reason we were
together.
She changed the channel,
and I accepted her choice.
