YEARNING AWAY

Yielding within the softness
Never known in spirit
Until these arms held you
Struggling to always be free
Ultimately finding the cost unbearable

Losing the ability to yield
For far too few would ever know
How I held you
Your secrets never revealed
Never betraying the depth of your soul

Onto the path so well worn
Yearning to run back again
Wearing down this heart
Along the way
I stopped believing there would ever be a day

After running away
All you can think of is running back again
Arms of soft retreat
Pride is what has you beat
Losing valuable time yearning away

True freedom is found within
Closeness that lead you to another level
Understanding deep within
Dimensions not attainable stuck in drama
Every day draws you farther away from yourself

Paths crossing again is not only up to you
For this world has a way of taking away
That which we forget to appreciate
Unto another day another soul comes close
Yearning for a new dimension
Another door opens anew away from a life you knew
