    Poem Commentary

    Nowadays, folks would have called this type of relationship abusive, I don't know about that, but I do know that love is blind as a bat sometimes!

    So Close

    So close, and yet so far

    The feeling is so strange

    To be close enough to your love

    And yet not be able to touch him

     

    Once the touching was so easy

    The touching so dear and thrilling

    Now the need is still there

    But the ability to touch is not

     

    So close, and yet so far

    Living in the same house

    But we may as well be states apart

    Begging for each bit of affection

     

    So close, and yet so far

    But I still love you so

    I will stay so close, and yet so far

    Glad that it connected and thank you.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
