So much pain my life has gave
My heart is too far-gone to save
Numbness settling for a permanent stay
Everything seems so bleak and gray
But then the clouds break apart
And let the sun shine in my heart
I see your face up in the sky
But it's traveling fast and passing by
I try to run quick but all in vain
It's all too much. I'm going insane
But then you descend to the ground
And beckon to me without making a sound
As I make my way to where you stand
An earthquake rumbles and splits the land
A crevasse forms between you and me
The good things in life are rarely free
I wish and wish until it comes true
I grow huge wings and fly to you
The clouds reform and a storm appears
Awakening my hopes, dreams, and my fears
As I am falling down to the mud
I shut my eyes and wait for the thud
But it never comes and I start to wonder
What happened to the rain, the lightning, and thunder?
I am floating five feet in the air
And you are in front of me, standing there
You wave goodbye and then you leave
And I sit here, alone, to grieve
Wow, very touching! This piece definitely leaves an impact. It really establishes a parallel to the general pattern of life - our chances dangle before us, and it's up to us to overcome the obstacles to reach them.
Keep up the good work; you've got some real talent, my friend!
