[ananda_daydream]

        ...I feel so far away from you
        time spent with you is as distant as a dream
        but no matter how my heart breaks
             I still can't reach you
        my heart could break a thousand times
             and it would still cry more
             full afresh each moment with longing
        a thousand tears could fall from these tired eyes
             and still they would be too dull to see you
        and I try so hard to catch you when you stumble
             but I fall so many times myself
             my arms too weak and bruised to hold you up
        so I lie here again, alone without you
             my body shaking with its cries for you
             heartbeat faltering without yours against it
        ...I wish I were enough to hold you, my love
             but tonight my soul feels so small.....
