500 Miles

Time pulls away like thread on fire,

Tied to a boulder, dropping down the wire.

Bottom of a pit, no end in sight,

Bracing for the crash in a world with no light.

Mind’s a raffle, thoughts in a spin,

Catching shadows I keep buried within.

Smoke-drawn memories fade in the air,

Cycle repeats—I’m stuck, unaware.

Two-way mirror, bleeding my hands,

Watching my shell take all the commands.

Selling my soul for a shot of sleep,

A bible erased, nothing left to believe.

Do you still hold faith you'll find love in your days?

Just a little taste, and this life won’t go to waste.

To love another face, to touch that sacred place—

I’d never regret our time in space...

(Wait... what is this place?)

Symbolic fate tight like a noose,

Reality’s grip slowly coming loose.

I promised you time, but I can’t appear,

Still you live in my mind, so painfully clear.

These words I can't share, they stretch and tear,

Five hundred miles of unanswered prayers.

I scream to the sky, I bleed in my sleep,

But you whisper soft—“It's okay, just breathe.”

Do you still hold faith you'll find love in your days?

Just a little taste, and this life won’t go to waste.

To love another face, to touch that sacred place—

I’d never complain, never regret our space...

(Wait... what is this place?)

On broken nails I climb this glass,

The mannequin moves while I watch it pass.

I contemplate, I suffocate,

Behind this face that no one penetrates...

I said I'd be there—

I meant it in my mind!

It’s not that I don’t care—

I’ve just run out of time!

My feelings, I can’t bear—

They stretch 500 miles!

Just hoping they reach her,

To give her back her smile!

Do you still hold faith you'll find love in your days?

Just a little taste, and this pain might fade.

To love another face, to reach that sacred place—

I’ll scream to the stars,

Even if I’m erased...

(Wait...)

(What... is... this... place?!)
