Drift Away

Funny how you once meant the world to me

Pity how I let you drift away

We’ve both now got separate lives

Separate minds

Separate time

Yet sometimes we talk

But each time we learn

We have walked

A bit further away

From each other

To another

We drift away

Ever so further apart

You out of my hands and

I out of your heart

Nothing personal

It’s not a science

Nor is it art

For all the poems I have mined it for

We are now so much lesser than we were

And it breaks my heart.
