We’ve been standing in front of each other forever.
I’ve known you since you were five.

And yet we don’t see
What’s standing between us…

A mass

Of black..

Motionless glob on the sidewalk.
We are blind to what we’ve been seeing.

To what’s always been there,
But has never been found.

I wish one of us would reach
And take hold of it

But we don’t
Cus we’re scared

What would happen to our friendship
If that’s what this is.

I haven’t talked to you in ages
And yet when finally see each other

We never talk.

What’s wrong
With the way we work

The way we function
I want to take you apart

Piece by piece
And see

If what’s in your heart
Is in mine.
