Chasing Things

Chasing things 
I'll never be 
never know
never see

I chase the
things I want 
with a plea
reaching out
so desperately

The things I chase 
will never wait
they dance 
and tease
then out of sight
they skate

I chase these things
not seeing what I leave behind
the ample
chances and opportunities  
to which i am blind

Chasing is not so bad
after a while but
you lose parts of 
your heart
and maybe 
bits of your soul
too

So by the end
when all is gone
there a trend
with nothing left 
to chase
nothing left
to spend

Then you chase
and shove away
the dreams and
the visions
of the great
the things you 
could have done
that were staring you
in the face
