S-c-a-t-t-e-r-e-d

SO DISTANT BY THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD
SO CLOSE YET, THOUGHTS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BE HEARD.

JUST LOOK AT ME WITHOUT CONVICTION.
JUST SENSE ME INSTEAD OF PAST CONFRONTATIONS.

A FRIEND IN DEED IS SO EASY TO ADOPT.
A SHOULDER TO CRY ON COULD HELP THE INNER TEARS STOP.

TAKING A BREAK FROM IT ALL ISN'T THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION.
YET, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AN INTERVENTION COULD
COMPLIMENT MERE SATISFACTION.

THE BURDEN IS HEAVY ENOUGH WITHOUT WEIGHING DOWN YOUR COURAGE.
JUST SENSE ME. NEXT TIME YOU'LL KNOW NOT TO PACK WORRY
ALONG WITH YOUR LUGGAGE.

THAT PART OF YOUR WORLD WAS MEANT TO BE.
WISDOM WITHOUT EXPERIENCE IS LIKE THE EYE
OF THE BEHOLDER THAT CANNOT SEE.

VISUAL AID, SOMETIMES, BECOMES A FOOL'S DETRIMENT.
MEANWHILE, CLOUDED SENSES MISINTERPRET AN INNOCENT
COMPLIMENT.

RELATING TO THE ORDEAL IS PAINFUL FOR THOUGHTS TO IMAGINE.
NOT KNOWING THE CAUSE SUSTAINS THE DISTANCE, WHICH IS
OBVIOUSLY PRESENT.

TO RECOGNIZE IT IS ALL IN A DAY'S JOURNEY.
YOUR DAYS ARE SO LONG. THEY CONSUME YOU
BY THE TIME THAT YOU'RE NEAR ME.

SENSES REALIZE THE BEST DISTRACTION MAY BE WAITING JUST
AROUND THE BLOCK.
OPTIMISTIC GESTURES ASSURES THAT THE DISTRACTION MIGHT
BE OR MIGHT NOT.

THOSE BRIEF MOMENTS NEAR WILL ALWAYS BE
MEMORABLE THOUGHTS IN PASSING
BUT, FOR NOW, JUST SENSE ME
THAT'S ALL THAT I'M ASKING.
