Longing

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!
