Searching

I found what I’ve been searching for
Across the endless sands of time
But it rests just outside my reach
So, so near
Hauntingly,
Taunting me
Driving me to obsession
And frustration
With the way things are and might have been
SHOULD have been
There’s nothing that I do
That can seem to bridge the distance
Every time I reach out
To take it in my grasp
Something pulls it from me
Back just a little further
Trying to trick me into
This gap that lies between us
So that I may be lost forever
As if I already wasn’t
Stuck staring across the chasm\
At everlasting beauty
That I’ve sought for oh so long
And find I cannot claim
