These Little Distances

These little distances remain between us.
These little distances speak.
These little distances are nothing but dust,
And the distances contain colours deep.

These little distances are always too far,
Never too near they dare.
These little distances hurt so hard,
And 'tis not fair.

These little distances hold us back.
These little distances kill.
These little distances click, they clack,
But you'll find me exactly here still.
