So Far

Maybe this is a poem about dying, or maybe it's about falling in love, or maybe it's just about growing up

So far

Silent cry in a world no one else knows is real.

Lost here

And infinity

That is not mine

Call out, but I’m so

far.

Isolated in my tower

of stone and glass

And crying tears

Memories past.

Wanting you, but you’re so

far.

A million ways apart.

Longing for an

escape.

From this world

And it’s loud reality,

cold stone,

hot tears.

Pictures in my mind

Two runaways

And they are so

far

from who we are

and have to be.

You are there and I am here and there is no

answer that will

fix it all.

All I have left

and nothing at all.

Happiness and smiles and hope

All I want

You and me and forever

Despite all they say

The future within my

grap

And yet it is still so

far.

Does this make sense to anyone?

It does make sense.

The poem had a realistic feel. You question love and possibility. I liked the complete poem. Good flow of thoughts leaving the reader with question and possibilities. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This makes sense to me... somewhat, I guess, because I don't know if you agree with my point of view, on a lot of levels. It makes sense to me where you hide and are afraid to let people see you for who you really are. It makes sense to me that you create this world, these walls, glass reflections to protect yourself. It makes sense that the one you want is so far away. It makes sense this suffocates you. And the title makes sense... so far, basically saying, it's been this way for so long, so what's going to change? Now, I could be completely off, but that's what I get from this.

Thanks for the input. I wrote it on a really hard day after a fight with my mom and another with my bf, etc. It was just a very heartfelt, 10 minute poem, so I'm glad it makes sense to someone other than me.

Oh? I actually got what it meant? :D And I know what you mean... actually, if you want to talk about this and the feeling of not being real, of having to protect yourself... or just talk in general, we can talk via email (so it's private) I'll send one to you right now.
