The Distance

I want to help you, but you shut me out, are you really going to make me guess?

I want to be close to you, but there is a screen between us, you've given me a clout.

You won’t tell me, I prod, you won’t confess, we've created such a mess.

What is in your mind? What is this all about?

Please tell me, I am so confused…

Do you know you've left me bruised?

When you are sad and when you are in pain…I feel the same.

I see in your eyes, more than you tell.

I see in your brow all the cares of the world, of which you are not to blame.

I want to know your smiles, your tears, your pain…I want to know them well.

Please tell me, I am so lost, and I sense danger…

It’s as if I closed my eyes and now see a stranger…
