Contact

    by Stacey Dye


We live at arms length

together but lonely.

Gone are the days

you reached for me.


Like waves washing over the beach

you would consume me.

Now we do the dance of avoidance,

politely passing in the hall.


And I miss the tenderness

of your hugs,

your gentle kisses.

We coexist without contact.


To feel your hand

at the small of my back,

your lips brushing my neck

would open up our world again.


But some doors once closed

are impossible to enter.

Seems we lost the key

somewhere along the way.
