Feeling Apart

A distance grows, an invisible divide,
Where once we were close, now worlds collide.
The warmth that connected us slowly fades away,
Conversations falter, fewer words to say.
Laughter seems distant, a long-forgotten sound,
Silence stretches endless, sorrow does abound.
Where smiles once lingered, shadows take their place,
Aching in my heart, a longing I can't erase.
The comfort we shared, a faded memory,
The vibrant connection lost within me.
Did unspoken words, or actions in the night,
Slowly steal away our guiding, tender light?
Eyes that once sparkled now seem cold and remote,
A haunting question hangs heavy in my throat.
Is this the end, our paths diverging wide,
Or a storm we must weather, with hope deep inside?
