Far Too Much

I could put you away,

As easily I would say,

As a favorite song gone dull,

I could vow never to play it again

As often times I have.

But there are days, more many than few,

When I wish to remember the beauty in this world

And on these days,

I turn to you.

At once I can see what's meant to be.

In a glance,I gain the strength to move on

And then I vow again, to never return to where I've gone

You've made me a liar once again

So short-lived my strength and will

One moment I stand tall in defiance

The next, I'm at your feet.

So humbling is this defeat.

Something so simple, so small, has me willing to risk it all.

I can't touch it, it's too far away.

Though I can no longer see it, I search day after day.

Slowly losing myself to something I pretend doesn't exist.

All the while knowing it's my one true wish.

Had I known what hell love would be

Perhaps I would've gone through life a bit more carefully

Be that as it may, it's now far too late.

Even from this distance, it burns me beyond recognition.

But in a kind of torture only I can see.

On my darkest days, you're the music my heart plays.

But my mind reminds me that you're too far to touch

And that for all the nothings you give me,

I love you far too much.

A very deep connection between two very different ends of an emotional spectrum. I like this.

Been there and it rings very true, very honest.

Thank you so much :) I'm beginning to realize that more people have felt this way than I thought. Thanks for reading :)

The whole point of writing is connection...you are never alone...the world is full of people like you.
Go out and find them.
