I can drop a piece of ordnance
Within a keyhole sized area
But don’t know how to place
The words to bridge the gap
Between us
I can whisper the catchphrase
That ends the world
But don’t know the sentence
That resets everything
Between you and me
I can sprint the distance
Between shadows
Such that I remain unseen
To both electronic and human eyes
But that’s no use to me
Because you always know
Where to look for me
My heart on my sleeve
Detectable only by you
The job means I need to know
What everybody else doesn’t know
Every strength and weakness
Every access point
In order to bend things to my will
Or break things that refuse to play along
But I can never understand why in those
Few quiet moments before the bending and breaking
I’ll always think about you
The Space Between Me and You
