There’s considerable difference
Between being a stranger
And being estranged
From someone you love
The silence
The distance
Are on the same scale
But there’s a nagging persistence
In dreams that have failed
Estrangement’s most tragic
For the soul
And the heart
The innocent victims
Of lives ripped apart
They mend ever slowly
Even with lots of care
For they know the full value
Of the sweetness
That’s no longer shared
