Forever Nameless

I try to hold you forever,

I want to breathe you like air,

I burn your image in my mind,

never to forget, never letting go,

but it does no good, like all things, you fade,

like all things, you disappear,

nothing lasts, nothing remains,

soon, it never will be,

tomorrow all that matters,

yesterday dead and gone;

I am tired of being on the outside,

never here, never there,

just somewhere else,

seeing what others do not,

knowing what no one should,

shadows best left untouched,

trapped within, lost upon this endless sea,

the horizon looming up ahead,

with no land in sight.
