I Still Can't Have You

My favourite writing. The French phrase which I thought suited this piece is La Douleur Exquise.

Are you here?

I feel trapped by your presence

Your reflection greets in front of me,

Your warm breaths linger behind me,

Yet you never seem to appear before me

I held out my hand for you

So you never have to feel lonely

I held out my heart for you

Hoping that one day you’ll see me

This illusion plays with my mind

I bring my steps closer, closer

But it takes me nowhere

Because it is you that I can’t find

No matter how hard I try

How many times I cry,

However far I run,

I still come undone

I only leave myself bruised

And I still can’t have you

You’re so near, I see your footsteps

Until the rain erases them with no traces of doubt

You’re so close, I hear your soft voice

Until the thunderstorm comes to drown it out

I bring my steps closer, closer

But it leads me nowhere

In the end, it is you that I can’t find

Won’t you appear before me?

Won’t you let me see you?

I won’t be able to take it any longer

You’re getting further, I can’t get closer

In the end, I only leave myself bruised

Because I still can’t have you

You’re no fantasy, you’re reality

But you only remain a dream to me

Because even after everything I’ve gone through,

I still can’t have you.

But that's not the only thing I felt!!
There's something deep and dark that stretching us to read to the last.

I liked it. Sorry it took me awhile to review it. I am guessing it's a lost love kind of thing, but I enjoyed it greatly. You could be a famous writer some day!
