Connections. A foundation for everyone
So it should come easily, all said and done
Yet it doesn’t, with every stride you fall further into despair
Looking at others with an envious glare
Their joyous smiles being the extra salt on the wound
Have you sealed your fate, to be forever alone in a solitary tomb?
Will your desire be forever out of reach?
Doomed to forever drift along groups akin to a leech?
Longing. The feeling of wanting something you haven’t felt
A bond and a link to another
Wanting to lower your defenses, feel the stress just melt
To be close to someone, almost like a brother
Yet life is still bland?
Getting to experience something you’ve never had?
Being able to feel the warmth of another’s hand
Rescued from a solitary existence, saved from going mad
Clutching. Holding on to something to prevent it from slipping away
Desperately doing so, to cling to some normalcy, to some hope
Not wanting to go back to the freezing cold
Craving the warmth of another, longing for that connection
Still alone, you slip further into dismay
What can you do to cope?
Assuming it would last forever, how bold
Perhaps it was all just a misdirection
Temporary. That’s what it was
Fleeting. That was the moment.
Alone. Back to before, back to the frozen wasteland
Maybe this was how things are meant to be
Distant from the world, from others
Looking on from afar with envy at something you couldn’t have
Did you deserve this?
Did you deserve to be left frozen?
