Bridge Over Troubled Waters

From up above your glittery tower
Can you hear me, Love, can you see me?
Can you feel my painful hunger?
As I sit, in the shadows, dark and murky!

The same scenario is being repeated 
Believe me, we lived it eons ago
You, always, the prince, much desired
And I, your heart's slave, your counter ego!

Between us, allowing us not to unite
Lies a raging current, filled with creatures
Ready to lunge, to tear and to bite
Filling us not with any hearty pleasures!

Someday, I know, I shall build a bridge
To reach you, my muse in human image!
