I can’t reach you there.
I’d like to meet you
Where the sky is blue,
And the sun
Would dazzle in your eyes…
But I’m blind,
And I cannot see
The beauty of your smile.
I can’t reach you there.
How I wish to walk
Where flowers
Are not filled with thorns…
But I dwell
Where roses bleed,
And petals wound
My feet.
Where shall we meet
If not in the darkness
Where I live?
What could I give
If not this love…
Tainted with shadows,
And scarred
By tears?
But if you could…
How I wish you would
Find me
Where clouds
Have gathered to fall
Amidst all pain.
There where grief and hope
Are mingled in the rain.
