heaven

just an inch away
just a place between the air
just a hole i keep asking for
just a place that’s never there

i reach to the furthest limit
i stretch my silvery tendril
i place my broken mind
in a place i thought was special

the place accepts my offering
the taste is sweet and fine
the touch slowly devouring
everything that was mine

there is no throaty laugh
no edge of malice or crime
just an empty hole
holding everything that is mine

i asked for forgiveness
i asked for release
i found that special place
i found no surcease

just an inch away
just... in between
just what i was looking for
just a bit out of reach

there is a place you’ve been looking for
there is a place of silent prayer
there is a place high above
A place that is not there
