A Few Feet Away

Only a few feet away in distance But in my heart and mind it’s miles Through treacherous terrain and mountain Icy cold and frozen Just a few feet from me is the man I gave my all to The one I could reach out to Who I thought understood me Is now somehow my enemy Very close in proximiy lies the man I could extend my hand to I can’t change him nor do I want to Thought I loved his flaws Again it seems I was terribly wrong Only a couple words away is the man I could speak sweetly to Silence fills the room because I’d rather be alone than plaster a smile on my face Tonight I will lie alone instead of in his embrace On the same bed is the man across from me At the very same moment in time as I Might as well have been centuries from now Too numb to even cry So I’ll share a bed with this man I thought I knew Realizing the truth, that we’re strangers in one bed I guess tonight I’ve got no choice but lay back-to-back from him And wonder how someone so close can seem so far away Again
