Close But So Far Away (A Stream Of Consciousness)

User Rating:

  How do I tell her what I am not able to comprehend myself?
The best thing to do is forget about it
But all I think of anymore is her.
This feeling is so universal
But so hard to describe.
What would she say if I did attempt to tell her?
I try so hard to fight these feelings.
The answer is written on the wall
But my head is in the clouds.
Every time I close my eyes
She's there.
Every time I find myself all alone,
I think of her.
How can I tell her I'd rather die
Than see her unhappy, miserable, or displeased?
When I'm only inches away from her
It feels more like miles.
So many nights were spent drowning in tears
While this mental laceration never heals.
Why am I doing this to myself?
Why keep reaching out for her
When I am told to let her go?
The answer lies ahead of me
But I don't want to see it.
Not having her is the worst of my pains,
Pains that no medication could ever deaden.
How do I justify all this?
Treasuring every moment just to see her,
Starving just to talk to her.
I never thought I could want something this bad.
Are these feelings true?
Or is this just a passing phase?
It hurts so bad to realize that
The thing I want so bad in life
Is the one thing I'll never get.
