Parallel lines
Your voice still lingers, even now
tho we're millions of seconds apart
you sing your own songs, I write mine
we seem to exist in parallel lines somehow

I can see you from down here, you feel so close
like I can easily reach out to you
but that's the last thing I'd ever do
cuz our paths can never again cross

You sing of love, I write pain
watching you from the distance is really tough
haven't I suffered in this life enough ?
will I ever be able to love life again?

You fly so high, while I crawl
you belong to skies while I remain down
forever chained to this filthy ground
from up there I must look so small

But I keep dragging my feet, so heavy
muddy and bruised, tired and weak
my hand keeps writing so my poetry can speak
so I wouldn't feel so useless, so empty
