He knows exactly what he wants,
its right in front of him.
He reaches out to grab it,
yet try as he might he can't touch it.
Its the happiness he's been searching for,
so close to being his.
Yet its just a tease,
just an illusion.
Like trying to touch the moon,
it seems so close at times.
And no matter how hard we try,
we know we'll never touch it.
He leaves the light behind,
knowing its just a lie.
He'll continue to search for the real light,
the one he can truly touch.

this is such a beautiful yet sad piece.
"He'll continue to search for the real light,
the one he can truly touch."
i definately know how you feel. Sometimes it seems like happiness will never be yours. But i think that happiness is within you. You just have to make it for yourself. There is a lot of negativity in this world and if you hold onto it, you just might lose yourself. This reminds me of so many things. thank you for writing it.
