A century from the miles between these two inches
You just stand away while I get cold
Lost in your bright shadows
Forever there and never here, I run
Towards a distant, non-existant
Mirage, fooled by this ever cruel sun
On and on forever, desperately towards you
Always striving, never finishing
I run to you, I run to us.
You stand still, shining, burning
And I am blinded by your light,
Not seeing you consumed by
Your frightening passion,
The golden web you weave, a lie.
I reach out drawn to your blaze and
Burn as I step inside, with you at last
But then I turn around and see
The whole world's there, entwined in your vast
Ardorous web and the only one to know,
To know we're all caught, is me.
Not even you will let yourself see... [comments] => 2 [counter] => 202 [topic] => 32 [informant] => brokenbutterfly [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 13 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Close enough to touch but too far away to hold
A century from the miles between these two inches
You just stand away while I get cold
Lost in your bright shadows
Forever there and never here, I run
Towards a distant, non-existant
Mirage, fooled by this ever cruel sun
On and on forever, desperately towards you
Always striving, never finishing
I run to you, I run to us.
You stand still, shining, burning
And I am blinded by your light,
Not seeing you consumed by
Your frightening passion,
The golden web you weave, a lie.
I reach out drawn to your blaze and
Burn as I step inside, with you at last
But then I turn around and see
The whole world's there, entwined in your vast
Ardorous web and the only one to know,
To know we're all caught, is me.
Not even you will let yourself see...
