To close a gap we pull together
hold it tight lash it glue it weld it
chain it nail it screw it kiss it
to close a deal we shake it sign it
pay it cash on the barrel take it
make sure you don't break it
to close a job we check it fix it
pack it sweep it detail it play it
invoice it then haul out and bless it
to close a heart we hit it slash it
stab it in the back till we lose trust
so openly given then we regret it
to close a wound we open it clean it
cover it tender bind it not too tight
hold it safe take good care of it
too close this love outside the comfort
zone we kicked it tried to forget it
but it keeps on coming no way to stop it
to close this gap we learn to love
to give up the power over another
to take power over fear and anger
to close this poem we say thank you
we pick up the pieces glue them together
parts get mixed as hearts heal to surrender
