Reaching

It happened, just once, to be alone
Although my heart wasn't of stone
It kept on waiting, till my heart found
I had a reason to be bound.

In chains have I struggled, in vain,
To pretend I'm there, always and forever
But I knew that wasn't true,
And I knew I was looking for you.

So my loneliness was something strange
Little did I expect you to understand
You seemed to reach my eyes, somehow,
But then you made me change my mind.

You glanced at me, drew back in fear,
When you saw me, me and my tear.
How could you be that ashamed
Of the creation that wears your name?

Perfect Loneliness

There was once a bird
That had flown all over the world,
But tired of knowing no one,
She returned.

When she landed home, she realised
She had left her heart somewhere
Hidden well, deep inside
She knew where it was then.

But after never-ending days of seeking,
She stopped. She kept on waiting
Until now, when she hears whispers
Written deep inside her heart
Left beside someone so dark.
