Lightyears Away

by Ingrid Prohaska

"Falling Stars" Mihaly Zichy

Sometimes I wonder
why a person like me
can be so sad.

And then I wonder
why people hurt each other
and why they hurt me.

People,
once very close
and still they are
deeply connected
in a certain way.

Near me
but unfortunately
lightyears away.
