A widening dull gap between flat action and an exposed soul
Empty space that gathers between silence and vulnerability
Trepidation swallowing emotion without care to savor any taste
The flicker of a flame fighting for air
Fingertips barely touching
The heart that will soon be out of reach
The impotence of connection
-distance
~Alisa Hutton
A beautiful poem and feeling of being gap and loneliness created due to distance made by loved ones!!

“Empty space that gathers between silence and vulnerability,” is a pertinent observation. Far too many wounded choose not to speak. If they can vote with their feet, they will, but too many feel trapped and just remain vulnerable. This is a reason so many DV victims stay in abusive relationships.
