PANdemIC
Touch the glass, feel the pain,
wondering when we’ll meet again.
Keep your distance, don’t come near,
longing to touch despite the fear.
The fear of loss, the pain of separation
mitigating the odds for one more assignation
The retreating steps, the wave of your hand
the ache inside too much to withstand.
What if there’s no more chance to embrace?
Is this the last time I will see your face?
Tear stained and anguished, pressed to the glass,
fear strained and empty please God let it pass!
