Far Away

You're far away
from me today.
Like the tail of a sunkissed cloud,
thinking something she will not say.

You fear to come inside my home.
You cried, and want to be alone.

There's nothing I can do, or say.
Look down on me and smile, I pray,
but you're too high up.
Too tired, in the day,
to think, or care.
You're not here,
you're up there,
far away.
