Love Poem: Destiny

Destiny

Can somebody please tell me
what is destiny
a time or place
or how we answer to ourselves
about this thing
we call the human race
I need an explanation 
I can embrace
everything so clear
yet all is so vague
all I hear
but information's misplaced
I say so much
but no words come easy
the people I touch
are blown away in the breeze
I need so much
yet want nothing at all
cause I'm afraid
my heart again will fall
I'm enchanted by
the purple haze
when your and my eyes gaze
and work into a craze
caught in this damn maze
nights go by slowly
longer are the days
just wish something, someone
would show me the way
I needed the courage
so long ago to say
how much I love you
but I walked away
although now it has been said
I fear, I dread
it may've been to late
just my luck or is it fate
that part is what I hate
I'm filled with sorrow
cause I have to face tomorrow
without you here
holding you near
is what I fear
I may never again
get to do
I believe my destiny 
was with you
did you feel it to
was it all an illusion
so much confusion
to sort through
why do I put myself through
all this abuse
it's just no damn use
for now, I guess,
we will have to wait 
to see if it's true
I ask many 
yet I still have no clue
what exactly is
destiny
