You could be miles away
an untameable distance
impossible to reach
tomorrow or today
yet you sit two feet that way
Your could be slipping
falling of a cliff
into a darkness i can not follow
one hand dangling on the edge that is ripping
yet you stand firmly on the ground without tripping
You could be blinded
Sight blocked out by an unpenetrable veil
hiding me from you, unable to see the present,
memories forgotten as you go unreminded
yet your eyes shine, filled with confidence, decisions decided
Perhaps it is me
an impossible treck away
Perhaps it is me
slipping from the edge today
Perhaps it is me
blind folded, hidden from you
Perhaps it is me,
a small candle, wishing to burn anew,
yet I battle for every breath to pass
as the oxygen is taken by your inferno
my speck of light, shining through miles of darkness
your blazing fire, through clear glass
snuffs out my flame, turning it to gas

yet you stand firmly on the ground without tripping
You could be blinded
Sight blocked out by an unpenetrable veil
hiding me from you, unable to see the present,

yet your eyes shine, filled with confidence, decisions decided
Perhaps it is me
an impossible treck away
Perhaps it is me

Perhaps it is me

Perhaps it is me,

yet I battle for every breath to pass
as the oxygen is taken by your inferno
my speck of light, shining through miles of darkness
your blazing fire, through clear glass
snuffs out my flame, turning it to gas
