Never be close to you

Maybe I am doomed

Never to be close to you

To always live my life

Just the far enough left of centre

Or off from right field

To ensure that our two worlds

Will never really collide

And as much as I long

For the soothing touch of your embrace

I am beginning to fear

That something will appear

Every single time

To keep us so far away

And I do not fully know why it is

I tarry so long

Nurturing these thoughts of doom

In my own lonesome kingdom

But maybe I know the twisted by ways of my soul

Far too well

To deny the basic reality

That at times I feel myself to be

Such a lone star

Lost in its orbit

That I will never fully ever know

What it is

To fall to earth

And feel the comfort

Of the ground
