Presence

The lengths one would go through, just to be with The One.

I can feel you
I feel your essence
The beckoning of your presence
I become still
Waiting, hoping, anticipating
Am I worthy of you?
My heart's pain becomes intense
This growing longing, immense
The time that passes, fertilizes it
To endure much more I cannot
Because my tears are so many
Burning like acid to the core of me
Now the longing becomes need
Evolving into ache
Now I may perish
My spun glass heart may break
The longer I cannot be with you
These dreams have unrevealed answers
As to why they manifest
If only to be with you is to rest
May I never wake again
