The Space Between

Love was on our tongues, licking honey on our wounds

Like two puzzle pieces, my head beneath your chin

For years it was heaven, life with my best friend

Nights lost to giggles, with forever in our smiles

With my head upon your chest, your arm wrapped around

Listening to our hearts matching, beat by steady beat

Lulled sleeping in our bed, rolling over to our sides

A foot and a half hearth, fueled by love and endless kisses

A foot and a half hearth, fueled by love and endless kisses

Your king moved one by one, while my queen became ruler

Impatient with ambition, perfection was my rule

Warmth a cooling memory, my fires froze in ice

Every morning I chiseled smiles, to hide the truth inside the lies

I love you became currency of manipulated hope

As your heartbeat didn’t match mine, and the space between us grew
