Close

I shun your affection

You wonder why

I no longer feel close

So far from where

We began

Yet so close

To where we end

Will we last

Look back someday

Feel close again?

Will I remember

How it felt

To be so close

To never feeling

close again?

Or will we come

To a close

Journeys apart

On roads that

Never come close

I love to play with words and close (klohz) and close (klohs) seemed like synonyms that could describe, with a simple word,the beginning and end of a relationship. Read the title either way. I wrote this about the end of the relationship of people who were both close to me.
