Straining, reaching, just out of grasp
Looking around but never to touch
The silver shadows stalk my mind
As I lay here, wanting you so much
My mind’s distracted and confused
All my thoughts center on my one true love
I only hope to change my mind
And I will find peace from above
No longer do I seem to care
As the hours while away
Filling time better left alone
With no companions to spend the day
Only stories end happily
Full of love and moon and rhyme
Real life never turns out so well
It simply runs out of rhyme
And all our actions catch up to us
What we live and how we dreamed
Unworthy of paradise
Life was better than what it seemed
Punishment awaits me now
For sins of thought and heart and mind
I should have known to let it go
An earthly heaven I’ve yet to find
