When I'm Gone (Poem)

Is distance too hard for us?
The me you met
Would scream 'no'.
The me I am
Would accept defeat.

I knew we'd come to this.
But still I shake,
Wanting to scream,
Trying to fight it:
This incomplete end.

Why can't we be strong enough?
Just hold me
When I'm here.
I'll love you
When I'm gone.

Every kiss feels like the last.
A moment of passion,
Overshadowed by difficulty,
Another reason not to,
Another goodbye to bear.

I want to protest this fate.
But I can barely breathe.
Take away my breath.
I don't need it.
Why must Love feel like Death?
