Distance and Desire

Whispered doubts, silent fears, shadows of my tears

Every time I try to get close, a wall appears, the distance grows

Guarded heart, I hide my pain, longing for love, but caught in the rain

I hold back tears, but inside I scream, chasing a distant dream

Trying to be brave, yet I feel the strain, caught between joy and pain

Falling in love, yet pushed away, lost in the echoes of what I say

Yearning for closeness, but sinking in fear, drowning in ache, wishing you near

Respecting space, I walk alone, haunted by the love I've known

Inadequate, I feel the ache, trying to mend what's hard to take

Shadows of doubt, they whisper loud, making me doubt, making me doubt

But my heart beats loud, for a gentle touch, I miss so much

Falling in love, yet pushed away, lost in the echoes of what I say

Yearning for closeness, but sinking in fear, drowning in ache, wishing you near

Could I break these chains of doubt? Find a way to let love out

Facing the fear, shedding the pain, hoping someday I’ll feel again

Silent tears fall like rain, longing for love to ease the pain

Holding hope in my heart, will love find a new start?
