A fear of love:
It's a curse, 
It's a chore. 

I wish that I 
Could adore you more. 

This life, it seems, 
Is a journey alone. 

I miss my mother
And need to atone. 

Places, people, 
The strangeness of home. 

This corpse--my life
Is going up in smoke

On a pyre of purposeless 
Pointing beyond
To the shores of
A perfect paradise. 

If only this 
Distance between us
Was bridged, 

A feeling shared would
Open the skies. 

Down would pour tears
Of endless surprise
Until the rays
Of sunnier days
Returned to remind
That this life is 
Lived alone and 
In too little time.
