Long Distance

Long Distance

I let the distance
be the only difference
between how it is
and how it should be

I let it control
the ebb and flow of my heart
The time its tide
inconsistent in its prime

Schedule conflicts
the sharpest pin pricks in my side
I just want to be
in your mind
To know that everything
is gonna be alright

But I wish I
could be unconscionable
wrap my chain
around your waist
and never let you go
