I'll never stop trying to reach you.
Reach

I reached for you last night
My fingers nearly grazed the closest star.
Behind it, I saw you smiling,
Teasing me with that knowing grin.
You didn't reach for me
But merely watched me struggle.
My heart calling out,
echoing through the heavens,
to fall upon your deaf ears.
And then you watched me cry
A fragile ocean of crystal rain.
You didn't comfort me.
That closest star burned out last night
and with it your hiding place.
No longer can I find you
Maybe I've stopped trying.
