So long ago, So sudden

A deep longing overcomes you,
a melancholic tune which
repeats itself in your head.

A desire so powerful,
infinite,
dark as a black well,
a black tunnel
with a pinprick of light.

That tiny star reflected
in your eyes;
an abyss of despair.

The star remains thus,
finer than the tip of a needle,
just enough to keep one strongly within it’s grasp,
trudging blindly in the dark,
stumbling forward,
in hope of embracing it.

Yet a point of light it shall ever be,
a symbol of continuous failure,
past,
present,
and forever more.
