Trying yet Failing


You look to see

You breathe to feel 

You love to live

Yet here we are... alone 

You read to see 

You greet to feel

You run to live

Yet here we are... alone

You stop to see

You touch to feel

You kiss to live

Yet here we are... alone

You write to see

You fall to feel

You reach to live 

Yet here we are... alone 

You leave to see

You forget to feel

You separate to live

It's no wonder we're alone...
