poem in the style of pearl jam

Are we as star-crossed as I thought?

I cannot see your face in my mind
Even after a year

Closer than ever before
This time, a chasm of silence between us

I keep telling myself
It's for the best
That I'm gonna spend my whole life
Burning your face into my mind
I'll live for the chance to see it every day

Numb. Standing still.
Have centuries passed?
I've felt a thousand winds whip right through me
How long have I been like this?
