Chasm
I know that this distance
That separates us
Is a chasm
Too far to cross
But it does not stop me
From wanting you
Or thinking about
The myriad ways
Of constructing a bridge
To span this divide
If it would allow us
To be together
If only once

The word 'chasm' has much pain in it. If only a bridge could be built. Beautiful.
