Out of Reach
My breath somehow forsakes me
It will not whisper your name
My heart says I'm unworthy
It cannot ignite this flame
My soul cries out for recognition
But my lips won't let me smile
Tempted by your heavenly beauty
But captive, to denial
My dreams, filled with your vision
I dare not close my eyes
Everytime you pass me by
Another piece of me dies
I am but a simple man
And you, a goddess of desire
A treasure meant to entice my soul
That I shall never acquire
How much longer must I suffer
How long will my soul beseech
Alas, I turn and walk away
For you're simply out of reach
