The Untouchable

I’ve never longed for something more in life
My eyes are seas and my hands grab greed
My desire to be alive
Pulled like a weed

And my fingers soon unclasp
To reveal nothing but air
My glee slipped from my hands
And there it lay bare

Exposed to the storms
And journey it shall make
As it slowly conforms
And remains unawake

I’ve waited so long the trees die again
And my nose cold but rosy
As I think of back then
When cuddles with happiness were cozy

But now I must face
The thing that’s unbearable
My joy weeps now with grace
As she is untouchable
