The Final Frontier

The Final Frontier

Its because of this want
This heated desire and need
Something so unbelievably unknown
The one thing I cannot feed

My heart will race faster
The breathing racing inside
Its these lungs beating against my chest
The reason for my lie

I’m not sure if I hide it well enough
Or if everything I want freely shows
It seems everyone should hear my heart
Everyone should hear the bloods quickened flow

These are the reasons behind me
Why I do certain things
Its all that dominates my mind
A tangled mess it brings

Brief and blissful are the short moments
And grief it afterward gives
All wrapped up with its gorgeous bows
This want only grows

This aching inside of my chest
Is reaching the escalating mark
I can no longer go back
Finally reaching this place of lack

Its because of this want
That continuously builds up within
Growing taller with each sights
So high I’m never to win

But the burn comes on strong
Stronger each time, more the before
Soon I’ll burst from this ache
But I will still want more

Even as I write my heart speeds up
Its crushing my lungs, ribs, and chest
An overwhelming force inside
Crippling even the best

And still I want this
I want it with all of my self
I’ll take the unknown trail
Even if its detrimental to health

This is becoming more then I can manage
I need to known if its unrequited
If this is simply my imagination
Or all of its smitten

Sighing no longer calms me
It only reveals the tumult help up
I still break like glass
I still hide in the mass

Even if this want is all I have left
I’ll still treasure it like life
Keeping it ever close to my heart
The safest place for it to stay
