Unreachable

UNREACHABLE My heart is full of longing For the days of yester year I fear you are escaping From all that was so dear Going back instead of forward Leaving empty spaces in my heart My arms reach out in silent pain Unable to hold you close again My hands reach out but touch the air My heart cries out in deep despair I call your name You are not there I feel you slipping away Nary a word Lives drifting astray Distances too great to measure From the recesses in my heart Unreachable even in my dreams
