And I, your sanity

Sitting across from me
To you I stare
Our eyes never meeting
A gaze that isn't fair

We sleep together
But not close
Miles away
Near at heart

Skin cells in my home
They belong to you
Your scent is barely here

Days
Weeks
Months
Until we reunite

Just days ago
By my side
A faint memory we have both forgotten

Pain
Driving us apart
Holding on
Ever so slightly

Depression
Holding me back
Tearing you to shreds

Doing what we can
Remembering little jokes
Smiling at our past

To put it simply
I won't let us slip away
You are my hope
And I, your sanity
