Reaching For Heaven
Have you ever outrun the wind;
or eclipsed the light of the sun?
And let magic embrace your heart;
conjuring hope where there was none.
Empowered by your innocence;
fantasy overlooked the truth.
And swept aside reality;
with the sheer impetus of youth.
Smitten by unrequited love;
you reel from rejection's pain.
For like smoke reaching for heaven,
your highest hopes got launched in vain.
Disappointment feels surreal;
assigning blame for love's demise.
And pooling deep within your heart;
teardrops trickle from weeping eyes.
You're emotionally empty;
devastated by love's defeat.
And it is hard to imagine;
that you will ever feel complete.
