all these choices

leave me endlessly

I can never choose

and stay lost

in obscurity

I can’t escape

my own lies

where my soul hides

I’m in denial

nearly touching

yet running away

we reach out to each other

while pulled astray

I look out

to the distant shores

and I wish

to be there,

where I envision 

change.

but knowing, 

the illusion

that distance creates

I climb to reach

your lofty expectations

only to fall

I am a flightless bird, 

watching the movement.

the wind passes me by

the world swirls around me

yet I can’t follow it. 

And the rain pours,

down my broken heart

drown my pain

wash these feelings

take everything

Waiting for the day,

where i’ll see you there

patiently, calmly

with a welcoming smile

my final hello

Pouring forth fruitless emotions expecting a change that will never come.

Dancing and floating, the world passes me by

watching and waiting, i try to grasp 

the pieces that dissipate in my hands
