Heads or Tails (Poem)

It’s been over a year

Since you’ve been running through my mind,

I’ve been trying to find a way

To let you know of how I feel

But you’re on the other side of the fence

A fence that cannot even be touched

Were are on opposite faces of the coin

You on the heads, me on the tails

No matter how much I flip the coin
You remain on the opposite

Always at the top, this poor soul at the bottom

Good lord, how am I to reach you

So untouchable like a pearl in the sky

Yet thoughts of you make me feel so high

Now there’s a storm raging through my heart

Blowing this soul apart 

Feels like I can run away

To a place so far away

Where this heart will dissolve

And these feelings varnish away

I don’t wanna feel like this

Whatever land you’re living in girl

I hope it’s treating you well

I’ll build a glass box around you

So they see but can’t get through

But I always think about the chains

That are locking me away from you

Only in my dreams can I break them

I’m thrown into a cold, cold place

If only I can see your face

Guess what?

In my mind I’ve created a world for the two of us

It’s a crazy world built on the foundations of pure hallucination

For every time I think about you

It’s like taking a drug too severe

For my sensitive brain

I flip the coin again

This time you are on the tails, I am on the heads

See….opposites again

Now there’s a storm raging through my heart

Blowing this soul apart

Feels like I can run away

To a place so far away

Where this heart will dissolve

And these feelings varnish away

I don’t wanna feel like this
