The Distance of Us

Mistake after mistake

betrayal by the betrayed 

annoyed by the thoughtless

faked accusations you make.

Reputation slewed by

the slander dripping from 

your tongue.

I can't find my way out

maybe this is all my fault

I keep letting them in.

No love, no family, no friends

not anyone to speak of

now that distance

has become my friend.
