Distances.....

Always keep the ones near to you,
in your eyes and close to your heart,

The closer you get to something,
the tougher it becomes to see it,

you forget the true value they have,
and ignore them in a blinding fit,

It's gonna hurt them more than you think,
will take them so far you won't believe it,

They will take it to a level, without a word,
after that all your repentance will be absurd,

They will be closed in a cold , dark shell,
to protect them from the torments from hell,

Your ignorance will return to you multifolds,
as they move away from you without you being told,

When you loose them you will realize,
you turned warm hearts to mountains of freezing ice,

The frost of these mountains nearly impossible to thaw,
their distance from you are defenses so raw,

They will still always be there in darkness and pain,
be there to give you shade whenever it rains,

Like the root that will always hold the tree,
clasping ground in darkness, so sunshine falls on leaves,

But in the moments,  with happiness in your life,
they will always be missing, nowhere nearby,

Barring themselves from your happiness, barring you from sharing their pain,
that is where things, will never be the same....!!
