The Carriage, Letter, and Driveway

Oh the damage a simple carriage can do As can a letter Or a driveway For all those may take them further from another Only miles by land Oceans by heart Continents by pure stubbornness It is not the land that stops them But the contents of a ghastly letter so carefully left behind The letter which proclaims mutual lack of affection truly present Both choose to loose the other To live alone Lonely and haunted by thoughts of what might have been The letter begins the journey of the hearts and minds The carriage allows escape from unexpected difficulties And the driveway reminds of how far they cannot go
