Connections

A connection is lost

across a traveled distance

one met with resistance,

its message arriving

mangled,

entangled

in threads of distrust.

Crushed beneath

the weight of a battered past,

it struggles

to stand as it once did.

So one must ask…

is it right

to continue the fight

despite an undesired outcome,

one that promises no reward,

no return

to a future that was once imagined?

Or is there a quieter truth lying in wait

beneath the fact

that some distances

are just not meant

to be closed?
