it'll be okay, if it's not okay it's not over.


This distance between us
It’s always been there.
We stitched a bridge
Out of soft spoken words.
But your words were a lie.
There’s half a bridge left,
There no hope for either of us
Stuck on either side of this distance
My part of the bridge is still there.
Still waiting for you
To rebuild your side,
With your soft spoken lies.

good, but It looks a little seperated.

Hey! I like the premise of this poem and your title is really good; it drew me in very quickly. I will say, though, that your punctuation could use some changes. Some lines would be better with a period at the end and others, a comma. For example, the line 'My part of the bridge is still there' could use a comma at the end instead of a period. With a comma, I think the sentence would flow a bit better and even give a stronger acount of the emotions expressed to the reader. I think if you rework things like that in this poem, it'll make a difference. I hope this helps.
