So Far Away

How doth a soul fly so high when it soars?
Or fall so fast when a warm heart shatters?
How can thou feel everything all at once,
And be as empty as a starless night?
I will never cease crying out for thee,
A lover much too far for me to reach.
Heaven forbid they see me weep again,
Canst you not simply take flight and fly, dear?
My feet are encased inside the damp earth,
With stubborn vines entwining my ankles.
Forever I will try so hard to fly,
But see, my heart will not go very far.
Here I shall dwell, an abandoned fellow,
Dreaming of the clouds with you by my side.
