Feels as if I’ve been here before
Like a forgotten but persistent cycle back for more
I don’t know if I’ve really changed at all
All I want is not to feel so alone and small
I saw you once, and tears came streaming down my face
Behind your shrewd but soulful eyes, I wanted your embrace
Unfounded love, a distant memory, or maybe a way to escape
From a comfortable reality I really don’t want to reshape
Misty daydreams, long and sweet but unable to satiate
An ardent soul, a bit naive, and who wants to radiate
In a world where shadows become friends and ignorance is revered
But a humbling truth and inner light are blasphemy and feared
Wanting to be more than what I am on my own
Perhaps you can take me there and explore the unknown
