Near



Into space I stare,
Watching the distance drawing near,
Eyes fiiled with an uncertain glare,
It makes me wonder if your words are sincere,
Both touched by deceit which shadows our care,
Learning again the games peopls play are unfair,
As I view abstract obstacles flying in the air,
Eventually the mercy of truth will appear,
Sometimes waiting in desperate despair,
Praying for the path of life to be clear,
While still on my mind troubles wear,
Unsure of decisions I have to bare,
Though no other man can compare,
Yoyr making my feelings disappear,
Leaving me in a lonliness to dare,
Cut a whole and only half is there,
Remembering faith has no fear,
Though there is sound nothing I will hear,
As I sarch for honesty that is found so rarre,
Echoing prayers linger in the atmosphere,
Still I hoped my heart you would spare.
Though imaginatons at times might flare,
I have only been with you I swear,
 Can you assure me of the same my dear ? ......................
