How close is close enough to identify the nature of truth
From proximity can evolve an environment of resistance
Frequent frictions promise to blaze through screen of lies
Kind of truth the heart seeks is an antithesis of realities
Often, the passionate urge to turn away is a brave decision
Fear of solitude and darkness can be unsettling at times
Being close is not articulated with hypocritical feelings
Closing the conduits of thoughts and sentiments is stifling
It takes time to realise the entire fabrication of closeness
Hearts wrapped and constrained with strange feelings
Proximity takes time to evolve and longer to realise
None can measure closeness between the heart and soul
