chasing rainbows
Chasing Rainbows by Bernice
To forget -
What an awfully heart-wrenching thing
Sometimes I muse
About why people simply refuse
To forget about what’s outside their reach
And other times,
I think about why can’t I erase you from my memory
Because I know it’s impossible to ever
Hold your hand
Or touch your cheek
Or dance under the stars with you
Even though I only see you in my dreams
Even though you’re just an impalpable reality
I don’t want to lose sight of this phantasmagoria
I’m chasing after rainbows
People always do
Don’t they?
We all know that some things are just too far,
Too… out of reach
But we still hold on to these pipe dreams
Whatever the reason
It’s different for each one of us
But I guess
I just like living in a fool’s paradise
Basking in delusive contentment
Chasing after the rainbow of you and me
i love the last part of the poem. it was so beautifully described. i really love it!
