six degrees of separation


When they say that the world is too small


and that we're all only as far apart as six degrees of separation


I hope they consider everyone else in this place


but us (statistics are easy to manipulate,


I remember you saying that)


because we live a few hundred metres away


yet in this jungle of a city


the odds of me bumping into you accidentally


or even on purpose are slim to none


when i meet someone that is one degree


of separation away from you


I dare not ask about the boy who broke my heart


ripped it out and tore it apart


half knowledge is dangerous, and


sometimes, rather blindsiding


another one of your quotes,


can you blame me?


your words have carved a space in my ribcage,


the small fist sized space where a vital organ stays frozen


how foolish of people to make a home of those who never wanted to stay


we can speak in tongues and poorly written verses


about that what we do not comprehend


truth is that i havent seen you in a year and yet


somehow when i walk past your house


somehow when i enter that small cafe


somehow when i visit the museum


my eyes will always look for you.


six degrees of separation, this cannot be true


when i am still holding on to the mere memory of you
