Distance in Destiny

Florence Red

The ones for whom my heart beats,
Away from me destiny keeps.
They say separation induces patience,
Patience makes you strong.
But what .. what if they were wrong?

My heart asks such questions all the time;
And what answers do I have - nein …
Sometimes when the wind blows
And the dried up place like heaven glows,
I always dream of slipping into the shadows
With my loved ones for whom I could fight even the deathly hallows.


They say you will meet them all once you grow up;
But what if all of this is false, just made up?
Yes! My heart is like a child
Melts away to fears so mild,
There’s nothing left to hide …


All I can do is hope.
I feel like a puppet hanging on a rope
Dear God, ones for whom my heart beats,
My immature, childish soul frequently weeps

        "All I can do is hope."

        "The ones for whom my heart beats, away from destiny keeps."

        There is such a distinct longing for chasing someone you want, yet you can't, for you feel like you'd be leaving those you love behind. You try to balance those things, but then those people realize what you are hiding. Some stay, but most leave you. When you realize you have to fend for yourself, it can be hard, but it's also rewarding to look back in the future. You see that even though you're on your own now, you can still make it through.
