Too near yet too far

My hands are bound,

How do I touch him now?

His pure, gentle skin,

That oh so innocent face…

To me, at least.

His eyes gleam like stars,

Lips of which I could kiss,

My heart beats to his name

Without him, I am ash…

Divided we are,

By extreme thoughts of our own,

By the worlds we live in,

For it is not real,

For we are not real,

But the love we share is…

I desire to feel his fingers,

There is a need to hold his hand,

For if him I can’t sense,

What use is this life then?
