Shayan Afzal

Intro:
the space between is a minimalist reflection on emotional distance and the void that exists between people. This poem examines the invisible walls and empty spaces in relationships, where closeness feels just out of reach.

Poem:
there’s a silence, wide,
the weight of miles
in your eyes.

where we touch, we do not meet,
our hands brush the absence
between.

love, a breath
caught,
held,

and gone.
