Have you ever had that feeling where there was something missing in your life and you knew exactly what it was, but you also knew that you'd never get it? Think Tantalus, but infinitely worse.
(Tantalus by the way was punished in Hades by being chained in a river and whenever he bent down to drink from the river, it would shrink down and dry and when he would try to take a fruit from the tree nearby, the wind would push it out of reach.)
