The Way Home
















If photographs of you are as close as I can get, then that's as close as I'll get.

If the edge of the land, is as close as I can get, then that's as close as I'll get.

If right up beside you is as close as I can get, then that's as close as I'll get.

I have and always will be, as close as I can get.

Wow, really had to keep thinking of this one for a while. Staring at the photo and title.

The wait to get somewhere always feels forever.
Here in the present, we're close enough. Until.

As close as you can get is not enough anymore. I'm sorry, but I want a fighter, someone that defies the lines of our separation.

I wish fate could have turned the hands of time in a different way so when I met you. So you were ready to love me, ready to give me your time. I'm crying because I never got your love and you cry because you miss mine. I wish desire was satisfying enough and the loneliness that drives me to find someone else would stop so I wouldn't hurt you by leaving you alone. But I can't ignore it. It gnaws at my soul, whisking the happiness from wonderful days out. Taking my sleep, so I wake up tired and restless. Magnifying my emotions so the week before my period turns me into something resembling pure evil, till I do enough to feel guilty,which magnified, makes me cry at the drop of a hat. Which makes me loathe myself , sabotage myself hurt myself and I get angry cos no one gives a fuck. Then I'm evil again, guilty, self loathing. Guilty, self loathing, evil. Guilty, self, loathing evil. All the nights alone, all the time I spend on trying to please you. I've got less time to quest. Locate the source of my unhappy mess. No sugar coated nuggets of love from you just so I can make it through the day without feeling insane.
I wish you loved me so I wouldn't have to leave you to quest alone without my nuggets of love to keep you sane. I wish fate had been kinder.

I dare you to get closer. You said it was "a lot to ask," but you see, that just it. If you really cared to know me as well as you could, It shouldn't be...

Stunning. It is my single greatest hope that the measure of our closeness will continue to inflate into perptuity. And beyond. Close is never close enough.
