Futile Dance
I watch you from afar
Smiling at your friends
As they envelop you in warmth
While I stand in the frosty mist
You are the sun
I am the earth
Basking in your light
Never to touch you
If I could only reach you
The sweetest dream life would be
And never would I let go
But the dream never comes
A wall divides us
Built with stones of insecurity
Each time I get closer
Fear pulls me back
Your heart is also afraid
I wish to comfort it
To give you strength, life, love
To light your way
Your eyes turn to me
My mind races
You speak to me
My heart skips a beat
Muscles turn to stone
Mind turns to cloud
I mutter something back
We return to our futile dance
Closed eyes cannot hide you
Every minute reminds me of you
Never shall I know your heart
As I fear it has no room for mine
