A Poem by Paige O'Connor

The mystery of your mind is intoxicating,
The urge I have to look through your eyes,
As telescopes to your suffering, to your confusion,
It's addicting.

You know better than anyone,
That this is the thing,
I want more than anything.
More than being entitled,
More than proving the world wrong.
I want to stay by your side,
Until time itself runs out.

But the clock is ticking.
Slower and slower each time...

For I have taken it upon myself, 
To ask for something that, 
That couldn't be given,
To yearn for something, 
That could never be mine,
To chase after something,
That I could never reach.
I am losing all hope.

The battle is uphill,
For I am the only soldier,
Fighting a millennium,
For I am the only soldier,
Limping onward,
Not expecting to last much longer.
We are but fingertips away,
But we cannot embrace.

I beg you to remind me,
Why I fed from that touch.
I beg you to remind me,
Why I stayed by your side.
I beg you to save me,
From this horrible doubt.
I beg you to save me,
From this temptation to quit.

One last request.
Just to seal our fate.

I beg you to make me,
Fall...





For you yet again...
