Worlds Apart
By Merij Kris
Had Fate known all along?
Did Destiny conspire?
Their humor beyond anything
That she’d ever understand.
She had never meant to
Fall into their trap
But those sky blue eyes found her
Playing in the sand.
A smile that invited
Curiosity to know
She rose upon her feet
And proceeded to run.
But the sand held her still
And never could she reach him.
Despite the hours between
Her heart knew what had begun
She closes her eyes,
A stitch in her chest,
To a truth that she has to accept.
Even if they were together
There’s time that divides
Fixed and constant
They’re worlds apart she finds.
So into the waters
The lapis lazuli blues
With waves that kept crashing
Threatening to pull her down
Then he reached out his hand
She held fast to it
Surprised he was there
Not leaving her to drown
She tried to remain
With her feet on the ground
Watching him in the depths
Slipping farther away.
Should she risk getting lost
In the ocean with him
An adventure her heart
Desired to take
She closes her eyes,
A stitch in her chest,
To a truth that she has to accept.
Even if they were together
There’s an ocean that divides
Fixed and constant
They’re worlds apart she finds.
She sits there in the sand
The ocean lapping her feet
One question on her mind
Will she be with him again?
His mem’ry in her mind
The touch of his hand, like a dream
All held together in pictures
Clasped in her hands.
She sifts through the stacks
Of memories passed
A reminder of how
Far away he’d always be.
Faint like the wind,
She could hear his voice again
Singing to her songs
That blurred the space between
She closes her eyes,
A stitch in her chest,
To a truth that she has to accept.
Even if they were together
There’s a veil that divides
Fixed and constant
They’re worlds apart she finds.
Let’s say there came a day
When the veil gave way
And the ocean brought home
What time kept away.
He stands there on the beach
Finally within arm reach
Her arms long for him but she finds
They abstain
For while her heart yearns
To freely be his
The sun reflects upon
The promises she’s made.
She never meant to love him
Never meant to fall so hard
She turns on her heels
And proceeds to walk away.
She closes her eyes,
A stitch in her chest,
To a truth that she has to accept.
Even if they were together
There’s a ring that divides
Fixed and constant
They’re worlds apart she finds.
Even if they were together
There’s time
And an ocean
And a screen
And a ring that divides.
Fixed and constant
They’re worlds apart she finds
They’re worlds apart she finds
And he will never be mine.
