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
