The chasm between us widens
With every sip you take
I've always been separate, though
Stalking silently
Through this life
It's not you, it's me
Splitting through at the center
Over something so ordinary
It's hardly worth mentioning
Except until it is
So I stay on my side of the gap
And not bother you with me
This fractured human
With too much human
Who walks alone
Apart
