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.
