Out of reach

Like staring

At animals in cages

Lines cut

Compliments only go so far

Out of reach

Thumbs up

Thumbs down

They run

Stampede

Over the pure intentions

Saying to much

Turned off

It felt nice

Yet Felt out of reach

Like looking for the destination

With the street lights out

No goodbye note

No reason

You thought

You were on to something

But it was just

Another opportunity leaving

You can never beg

What wasn't ment to be there

In the first place

To stay

Just because you feel it

Doesn't mean it's real

And being able to see it

Doesn't mean it's not a mirage

Like beautiful stars

On a clear night

A splender to look at

But always

Out of reach
