Quietus

Sadly we did not realize
that the silence between us
became a veil
(so I could not see you),
from that veil 
it became a curtain
(so I could not hear you),
from that curtain 
it became a wall
(so I could not touch you),
and from that wall 
it became the world itself,
so, now on I am 
unable to feel you.
