Longing Poem by Keenan McNeil

All that I can not see
I can not hear
I can not hold
I can not have
Is all that I long to see
Long to hear
Long to hold
Long to have

Fate has dealt me a hand that I can not win
Yet I will not stop playing the game

Denying my feelings would be torture

Embracing my feelings is torture

Because all that I can not have
Is everything I am longing for

My heart races

Absolute beauty to my eyes
Yet I still can not see

Sweet whispers sing to me
Yet I still can not hear

A soft loving embrace
Yet I still can not hold

All that I long to have

They say that fate is real
That true love has no boundaries
Both are paths that intertwine
Roads that are hard travelled
For to deny fate
To deny true love
Will only lead to emptiness

My bags are packed
My journey has begun

No matter the pain
No matter the struggle
No matter the emptiness
I will not stop

Our true love paths have intertwined

It is fate that now drives us
To one day see
To one day hear
To one day hold
All that we both long to have
