Longing

This euphoric feeling unravels despair

Uncertainty leads to the footprints over there

Where the lost looks for the key

That will force it out of misery

 

Confusion sparks with every throb

This hurtful resonance gifts a sob

It senses the dark with every fiber

But feels the bliss on every caliber

 

As the senses reach for an answer

It slowly becomes an averter

Quietly running away out of fear

Shutting down the feelings it holds dear

 

The heart tightens in an outcry

It longs to know but cannot fly

It reaches out only to fail

Perhaps when it dies it won’t wail

 

The desperation to know consumes

But the more it does, the more fear blooms

The heart begins to throb as a signal

But its bravery is too little

 

The key has not been turned,

the heart has been burned

It burns for love, but cannot reach out

Its strength fades away as it doubts

 

The more it longs, the more it dies

It dies because it wants to fly

Chained down by fear

Feelings are shown through tears

 

Please… It hurts
