I sit here
Listenning for you.
Waiting for you.
I may not be focused,
But I'm here.
Waiting.
If you speak,
I will answer.
If you talk,
I will listen.
I am not really
That far away.
But how far is too far
And how far am I?
Traveling down a road
That I didn't want to try
And it's almost tragic
This magic you have
And I know you will damn me,
But I can't seem to care
This road is taking me father
Than I have ever gone
Maybe someday I'll realize
That I've gone too far
How far are we willing to go for love?
Further than the sun in the night sky
Further than the stars in the daytime
Can we honestly believe love triumphs over all?
Can we just forget that it ever happened at all?
Is it really better to love and have lost than to ever have loved at all?
Thoughts race around head
Day and Night
Is everything alright?
When obstacles come is it better to jump over them, or just avoid them?
Is life ever really worth it?
Is love very really worth it?
How far will I go for you?

I like your take on the poem. A lot of the questions people ask while they are in a relationship. And the one that almost always comes up at least once "How far are we willing to go for love?"
What would people really do just to have someone love them and be loved in return.
thanks for your entry

Different Slant On your Poem
This is a tribute to your poem.
Not meant to replace yours.
Do YOUR OWN thing.
Here I sit,
listening to you
wondering how much of what you say
I can take as true.
I wait for you
my mind half gone.
I may not as focused as you want
but we carry on.
I wait to hear
what you have to say.
Knowing if you reward me with your words
I will probably stay.
My answer weak
you will probably hear.
I have come as close as I dare
to your precious ear.
I will open my mind to you
and I will tell you everything
I am not really
That far away.
If you talk,
I will listen.
But how far away is too far?
And how far am I?
You have brought me down a road
I was much too fresh to try.
It’s almost tragic
this covert magic
that you wrap so tight around
that I am ensnared beyond escape
though my bonds cannot be found.
I can see the flickering firelight
of what I know will be my hell
for you surely have condemned me
with those spells you weave so well.
And my care for my condition
where on Sweet Earth has it gone?
For I follow with such pleasure
as I’m not quite pulled along.
This road goes much farther
than I’ve ever gone before.
But the journey doesn’t trouble me
and my very soul cries “More!”
Have I gone too far?
I won’t know until I’m there.
Is it possible to go too far for love?
How far are we willing to go?
Further than the sun in the night sky
Further than the stars in the daytime
Can we honestly believe love triumphs over all?
Can we just forget that it ever happened at all?
Is it really better to love and have lost than to ever have loved at all?
Thoughts race around head
Day and Night
Is everything alright?
When obstacles come is it better to jump over them, or just kick them out of the way?
Is life ever really worth it?
Is love very really worth it?
How far will I go for you?
And if you’re not love for me,
how much of me will I squander on you
before I realize you are not going to save me?
