My arm outstretched

But I'm reaching for air

I can't reach

This

This thing that I dream of

Dreams that come

In the form of nightmares

Maybe it's time

For me to stop

And realize

I can't hold air

So I should stop reaching

    That is never in the right place

    Why does she even wear that

    Why does she look like that

    Looking at her
