Far Off

All those who yearn for what is far away,

Oh irony, perfection does exist

But in proximity will never stay

And will remain enshrouded in the mist.

To all those seeking the unseekable

Hundreds of miles off yet right next to me

Wanting to confess truth yet unable

And now forced upon talk of vanity.

How now squint I discern across the isle

That silhouette of so much excitement

Confidence in action and depth in smile

Yet too far for any love to be sent.

Probably our paths were not meant to meet

Or I can’t handle my looming defeat.
