Too good to be

By maddog

Too good to be
So far away remains sanity
Ashamed of thoughts controlled by emotion
Chased by the unknown
Questions to never be answered
Everything…..I cannot be
Heaven’s never to be reached I remain lost in this tragedy
Shattered mirrors of devotion cut so deep
Promises I have to keep only dry tears are left to weep
Some piece of mind out of reach
So far away remains of sanity
Nothing to give, just all that remains
Unappealing covered in scars
I come to you bound and broken
Expecting nothing fearing everything you have become
So out of reach you washed onto my rocky shore
Pounded by sins of past and present
Followed by sweet truth
A tide you have become, with every wave
You kiss my corroded shore
Bringing thoughts of happiness
So far away you remain
I must make this fatal journey
To find the source of life that drives you to me,
Through salt ridden oceans to that mountains purist stream
From which you come
Dehydrated I await to drink from you and quench this thirst
I’ve been longing for.
