just out of reach

what is this need that begs to be filled
this thirst that needs quenching

vacant eyes empty hearts
a constant search for something

people around then what is missing
what is it that each is looking for

why these self made prisons
hiding behind the masks
restrictive lonely
what holds us back..

just onecaring word or thoughtful hand
a drop in the ocean
why is it flooding our eyes

such a phenomenal need in each heart
how are we missing
this reaching out right beside us

an aching emptiness
this need for a soothing touch
yearning hopeful mabye chimeric

strange warmth so familiar
filling up corners unknown to us
are we so incomplete..

a lifetime of pain barely held in
what are we doing to one another..

each person incomplete.. left wanting
why are we closing our heart like this

is togetherness suffocating
when did we forget to grow
has love become an unending search
just out of reach....
