Distance 1 - 0 Relationship
They say distance is a test
To find what lies inside your heart
Whether you'll come back home to nest
Or you're better off apart
"It makes the heart grow fonder"
Words you've heard oft times before
Whether true or not, you wonder
So strongly drawn by their allure
It's a common trope relayed
A platitude most overused
But when your love ends up betrayed
Not its purveyors stand to lose
Only you who bought the pledge
The proverbial "snake oil"
Stand now perched upon the ledge
Prepared to loose this mortal coil
For to talk one out of peril
Requires steadfast mind and tongue
A loss of dreams, a life turned sterile
The bell that tolls for death, has rung
