Haunting alabaster
Just out of reach
And yet I stretch
And fail and fall and try again
Waiting for the miracle
That will never be
Red and white
And secret smiles
Meaningless and nothingness
So much more and less
Lost in something far beyond
I’ll never comprehend
But the struggle drags on
Through the nights
Trying to take back
Something that I never had
Hands empty in the air
Seeking another glance
But needing a release
From that hidden smile
I’ll never see again
