Stars

Keep passing me by,
-One day at a time-
Still ripped away.
Out of control
-Smooth on the surface-
No ripples disturb the pond.
-Glassy-
Glossy eyes gaze through haze
High above the world.
Even so high,
It's not much better up here.
Heaven is so far away
-In the palm of my hand-
Cannot make a fist
Too far to reach
-Without going to far-
Point of no return
In vision
Wanting to go there
Cannot
-You can never come back
Maybe Heaven
Isn't all that it's cracked up to be
Another short ride
-Flying high-
Empty once it's over.
I thought I heard you there once
Voice so clear
-I thought you were in my head
Could you see my thoughts?
Understood.
You could not be
Then it was gone-
-Desperation-
Slowly slipping back
Reality
Not Sanity.
If I made it
Perhaps I could
-Find a way-
Come back
You couldn't see me,
Hear me.
Could you
-Feel me?-
I am right here
Maybe its better
Not to return at all
Halfway between here and Heaven
-Hell-
Hopefully not forever.
Here I am for now
Still trying to grasp the stars
Without leaving the ground.
