Close Enough to Hurt

by Joshua Azure

"Two bodies, side by side, yet worlds apart

Anger ignites, voices raise, a stormy heart

But why the shouting, the raised tone, the fight?

Is it not because our hearts, are lost in flight?

We stand so close, yet miles away

Emotions locked, words unspoken, all day

The chasm grows, the void expands

Until our words become weapons, in demand

We shout to bridge the gap, to reach the shore

To make our voices heard, as love seems poor

But in the noise, we drown the truth

And in the chaos, our hearts lose their youth

So let us step closer, hand in hand

And listen to the whispers, of a tender land

For when our hearts align, our voices soft and low

We'll find the love we seek, in each other's glow."
