Distance

Everything I could ever want In sight Beauty more potent than gods A voice that sings to me A story of which I want to be a part of Everything I could ever want Compressed into a single being Immeasurable distance Clouding how I feel How could I see everything I want And still not crave it Not strive for it Why do I not fight? When I have it all in sight Everything I could ever want Just out of reach Distant Everything seems distant It is not something I can have Not something I deserve Im walking Crawling Swimming Trying to get closer Yet my eyes are closed And I cannot open them Closer and closer To something I do not know
