Alone

She needs everything but can't have it all.
Distance makes her heart ache,
Her soul cannot take it.
Her mind cannot take it.

Life comes speeding through a highway.
She tries but can't quite grab that cab,
The connection has broken.
The direction has broken.

She lies in wait beside the phone.
It rings and rings, but the voices are wrong,
Her love knows nothing.
Her life knows nothing.

It hurts to want the one who can't be hers.
She looks for signs and finds only what's not there,
Her logic is flawed.
Love's magic is flawed.

Painful wounds inside never begin to fade.
Not when uncertainty is all to hold onto,
She longs to tell.
She longs to hear.
She longs to heal.

In third person, but it can't escape being written about me. Pretty long for my usual standards. I like it a lot.
