so near yet so far

two laptops
one room
two person
one invisible chasm
two hearts hurting
one person's mistake
mine

a scar so deep
it'll never heal
my hesitation
an eternal penance
for my carelessness
a heart broken
hers

a tug of war
a flood of memories
good and bad
but the bad
my mistakes
they haunt constantly
us

the gap
it grows
our hearts
they tore
her tears
they flow
and i stand helpless
