The chasm between us.

The distance between us is no longer defined by kilometers or miles,

The oceans don't keep us apart.

Physically we are right by each other, but I've never felt further from you than now.

What is it that separates us so much?

What is it that makes this so hard?

Now we re not continents apart, yet opposite me you still don't understand.

How can I show you what I have seen,

How will you experience what I felt. 

There is so much I want to share with you

And so much you don't comprehend. 

Our experiences have brought us to this point,

They have shaped who we are now. 

Between you and I, the difference is so vast

and that gap has only grown. 

I do not think I can show you 

The world as I see it now.

I don't think I can help you understand 

Why I feel the way I feel

And why I act the way I act. 

My experiences have brought me here,

And your experiences have brought you there.

I look across this chasm with grief,

Saddened we have no bridge.

This rift of misunderstanding will continue to grow

We may never understand each other again.
