Lovers Can Become Strangers Again

Lovers Can Become Strangers Again by bratezg

Sometimes the distance in a room

can seem like a mile

Making it impossible to cross over

to the other side

Between are hills and mountains

one has lost strength to climb

Strength was the past called yesterday

left is a ladder of memories

only leading astray

In the corners of the room, we sit,

at each, we stare

not knowing what to say.

Questions grow as time passes

Un-answered are the thoughts

How the circle keeps on turning

Looking back on the lifetime

we once knew as friends

The same love warming my heart

now burns

Even lovers can become strangers again.
