The Distance

My heart,
dangles on a string
I'm barely hanging on
wondering why you had to be the one to catch my eye
I wait,
staring into the blue
abyss that everything around seems to fade into.
Confused,
Why did I pick you?
The distance dragging prickly tears out of the corners of my eyes.

Blind fury
I can feel the anger welling up inside
it hurts
let me know
when exactly
everything's alright.
The pain
taking over my thoughts
making me choke it feels so bad to know
that you won't go
the distance.

Hope
is barely hanging on
swinging left, falling right
dropping on top of the ground beneath the sky
Pain
spreading it's wings
like an eagle
ready to take off into the night
Hanging  on
it's so hard to know that you
won't know won't go
where I've pushed myself to go
I'll never fall
down
into the darkness, I'll pick myself up and know that I'll always go
The distance

Blind fury
I can feel the anger welling up inside
it hurts
let me know
when exactly
everything's alright
The pain
taking over my thoughts
making me choke it feels so bad to know that you won't go,
The distance.
