Acceptance

I love you, but I cannot have you.
Maybe it's because I don't feel, maybe it's because I don't deserve,
Maybe it's because I'm ugly, or maybe it's because I'm lost.
No matter what, my heart strives for you.
I reach for you in my dreams, and let you leave in my reality.
My hands need to touch you, my arms need to hold you,
But my soul needs to stay in the shadows
I can?t allow myself to love, to see, to feel.
I can't live in my dreams either, and that is why I must go.
Because living without you shatters my being.
I want to survive in the light with you, yet I push myself into the darkness.
Maybe it's because I need it, maybe it's because I desire it,
Or maybe it's because it offers me a way out.
My only wish is for my dreams to become true...
But in my heart I know the outcome,
They never will...
