Distance

even though it's been three months
since your voice has echoed through my bones
the alcohol running through my veins 
makes it easy to remember
your sad thoughts
and twisted ways
and that somehow you made silence 
louder than my heartbeat
844 miles away

Hi! Thanks a bunch for taking the time to comment! I hope you like my other poems I've put up so far. A little bit about myself, I live in Philadelphia, I'm 19 and a sophomore in college and I happen to love to write (obviously). Thanks again!
