Monday Poem: Lying Together

Lying Together

We are here and there is there
and we do not know what to say.
The words are there, between us
tentative, hesitant and unsure.

We are here and the space
grows wider between us,
no matter how close we lie.

We lie together and we lie
about when we are apart
and not lying alone.

We make promises
about not lying any more,
knowing it is another lie.

It does not matter though,
here and now, because here
and now is all there is, now

and promises can be made here
so easily when there is no past
and there is no future,
just lying here, lying together.
