just out of my reach

we are trapped, together, in a dream, a nightmare
where you are blind to my love
only it’s not a dream at all, it is my reality
why, why can’t you see your mistake?
why do you choose not the one that loves you,
but love the one that does not?
my devotion to you must be annoying
but I don’t know what else to do!
you seem to overlook my love so easily
and you are always just out of my reach
something that I can never catch, never have
what can make you love me?
must you really be tricked into loving me?
can’t someone, anyone, anoint your eyelids
and when you wake up you’ll see me, and love me?
my hope is dwindling
as I am searching for the flower that will make you love me
and yet, like you
it always seems to be
just out of my reach
