(Ba-bum Ba-bum)
The beating of his heart plays again and again,
(Ba-bum Ba-bum)
as my feet begin to mimic his hearts rhythm and beat.
(Ba-bum Ba-bum)
Each step a reminder of the miles between us;
(Ba-bum Ba-bum)
the distance between our hearts.
~I can only run so far;
go so fast.
But each day is a reminder of the weeks left to pass.
Our hearts may be one, but our homes states apart,
each day becomes hard; to think of what I may have lost.~
For you, I fell; and for I, you fell,
but this map still stands in our way.
Within our dreams we do meet,
yet theres many roads between us.
The rain falls here but I know you don't see it,
the weather patterns change as the miles begin to add.
One day our hearts will beat as one;
in the arms of each other sitting in the sun.
(Ba-bum Ba-bum)
Each step is one moment closer to the one I love.
(Ba-bum Ba-bum)
Each moment my heart slows
(Ba-bum Ba-bum)
Yearning for the half that makes it whole.
Author notes
I picked: 4) they reason for not being together... why they are not doing something about this, since they both know they like eachother
Our reason is distance i guess.. we both know how we feel and we tell each other and share it but the distance between us slowly rips at the heart..
the parts with the (ba-bum ba-bum) kinda came to me well i was running and listening to my feet and heart and what his heart would sound like so yeah lol

I really enjoy your poetry. This poem really hits close to home for. Sometimes distance is just too much to bare when you love someone and want to be close to them.

i like the ba-dum ba-dum thing. works well. it gives a beat to the poem. I remember watching this writer in a spoken word, she made similar sounds in between the lines. pretty cool.
the sixth line is really cool. it really brings the theme of the poem to thr front. very nice.
very powerful. that might actually be my reason too O.o haha lol
thank you for entering
best wishes,
Neri
