I see what i want
but its what i can't have
it's right there in front of me.
so close i can smell it, taste it, feel every texture of it.
like a hand sown feather pillow, soft and inviting
the perfect place to rest my road weary head
Its just two steps away
and yet in a whole other world
its out of reach, i cannot get to it
but damn it i have to try
for there is nothing else
nothing else do i have left to look forward to
all, like sand has slipped through my fingers
forming with each grain my plot to be buried
swallowed in my own mistakes
so again and again, i try and fail to attain that which i know is unattainable
like a fly who for all its stubborness cannot force its self through the pane of a window
but still he tries
as i must
until the end
until the end
