Rainbow Chasing Poem by Mark Hopwood

The closer I get to you
the closer I need to be.
I hear your voice and you sound so low,
You don't need to tell me how you feel
Because I think I already know
Held down by things I can never show.

Why must it be this way,
Lost all night and cold all day
Lost all day and cold all night
Sometimes it seems like nothing is right.

So here I sit, Sinking
Lower and lower I go
I can't just sit here thinking
About a feeling I'll never know
So I cry and hold my head in my hand,
How can I be me when all I think of is you?
But I'll get through,
At least we can speak, and be open... I hope.
God I hope.
