Three Feet Away

The other side of the world is three feet away,
I'd reach out and touch it but what would I say?

It feels so strange being all alone,
Even though I'm not, it seems I'm on my own.

Can't eat or sleep,
Barely even speak.

Rarely smile, or talk,
I'm feeling so weak.

The other side of the world is three feet away,
Feeling if I come to you, you'll run the other way.

What has happened to us? We used to be so happy and cheery.
Now my face is always red, my eyes always teary.

I feel like I'm losing my best friend,
Not knowing how it began or when it will end.

The other side of the world is three feet away,
Wishing I could just once, touch you today.

I feel my heart crushing in pain,
My brain slowly going insane.

I'm missing you so much,
And you don't even care to know.

I'm wanting to die,
Just so you'll be free to go.

The other side of the world is three feet away,
I'd reach out and touch you, but what could I say?

Can't make you accept me the way that I am,
Can't force you to love me, when it seems you don't give a damn.
I can't make you be something you are not,
So for crying out loud.... I'll just deal with this, and forget these
thoughts.
