Another

Well its morning, so it's time to post this on here...
It's the first thing I've written in a while. and theres nothing I'm trying to prove...
In fact, just like everything else I've written... I really don't expect it to make any sort of effect on anyone...I just wanted to vent... Enjoy it... it's one of the better poems I've written in quite a while and well... here it is

Another

I follow your eyes wherever I travel,
The voice in my heart.
Yet every moment slips away before I can take hold.
I want to live it... but life stands in my way.
I want to feel it... but still you turn away.
No one’s walked the empty halls of my heart,
Yet many have raced across the gears inside my head,
Only to crash upon the walls of reality
It can't be done...
Dreaming too much of a world with you,
And waking up to a life forever without...
I've gone too far,
Where no man dares to travel
When he seeks another heart
And as I struggle to dig my way out
It seems like the hole grows deeper
And just like anyone else
Your eyes upon the world
Searching for a soul to match your own
Or sealing the pain of betrayal behind a wall
That will always fall with time
I can only watch from far away
And never build those memories
You’ve saved for someone else.
I’m here to catch a fall
Yet I’m still here among the ranks of men
Branded for crimes I’ll never commit
I’ll burn at the stake with my brethren
For sharing the loins of my fellow man
And as I hang with these fools and deserters
I’ll never lose a smile
And laugh away my fate
Will I never know of those two eyes?
That glance back only at my face
But into the heart of a traitor...
It’s hard to watch your heart set ablaze.
And it’s hard to watch you build that wall
Time and time again
But I’ll always give a helping hand
To rescue you from the ashes
And I’ll always help you build that wall
And wait until it crashes
And all along I’ll say not one word
As I bring you back to your feet
But as days go by I wonder
Will it ever have a chance?
So many others out there
Looking back at you
I don’t know if you know it...
But I’m looking back too
They say that for everyone there is another
But I know right now.
It’s not another I would want
It’s you and only you...
