Futile Dance

I watch you from afar
Smiling at your friends
As they envelop you in warmth
While I stand in the frosty mist

You are the sun
I am the earth
Basking in your light
Never to touch you

If I could only reach you
The sweetest dream life would be
And never would I let go
But the dream never comes

A wall divides us
Built with stones of insecurity
Each time I get closer
Fear pulls me back

Your heart is also afraid
I wish to comfort it
To give you strength, life, love
To light your way

Your eyes turn to me
My mind races
You speak to me
My heart skips a beat

Muscles turn to stone
Mind turns to cloud
I mutter something back
We return to our futile dance

Closed eyes cannot hide you
Every minute reminds me of you
Never shall I know your heart
As I fear it has no room for mine

Incomplete Journey

Bright future, how I await thee
Gleaming before me
Hope fills my heart
Confidence builds steadily

Life is good, worries are scarce
New friends give new life
Seeing the real world for the first time
Realizing how many people are plastic

Nothing lasts forever, dreams fade away
Confusion masks my fear
Uncertainty takes it's toll
Life is ever changing

Surprise becomes an experiment
New challenges are met
New discoveries are made
Life begins to fall apart

Floating in a void, drifting away
Mind becomes hazy, emotions are dull
Isolation is the natural response
Despair takes over

A light shines, a slight warmth
The fog begins to lift
Confusion and uncertainty still rule
Now what does the future hold?
