Discover Prompts – Distance

Handshakes, high-fives, hugs, kisses
Feelings, emotions, intimate, close, open
That’s how they say it works
Family, friends, acquaintances
Never alone
That’s how they say it works
Handshakes, high-fives, hugs, kisses
Feelings, emotions, distant, numb, closed
Why isn’t it working
Family, friends, acquaintances
Lonely, empty
Why isn’t it working
Together or apart, it feels the same
So close, yet so far
Something isn’t working
Distant when close
Close when distanced
Something isn’t working
High walls, staying distant
Closed off, keeping a safe distance
This is what works
