So near yet so far away <br />Fingers grope but arms apart <br />Hearts entwine but heads turn away <br />We look and do not look <br />We pretend <br />To sleep and do not sleep <br />The heat from within <br />The coldness without <br />Sitting beside each other <br />A wall separates us <br />We speak all else <br />But, silence sits between us <br />Like a strained guest <br />We walk beside each other <br />But the poles come in between <br />When will the walls fall? <br />When will our eyes and fingers meet? <br />When will I rest my head on your shoulder? <br />And speak with you in silence forever!<br /><br />Angelina Pandian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-magic-of-the-breeze-41-so-near-yet-so-far-away/
