Shortcoming

I failed the test today 

To wait for You 

To not lose myself 

In a story

In touch and out of touch 

With my own reality 

I think it’s just hard 

Not having You near 

Not feeling Your touch 

But You tell me 

You’re closer than my next breath 

Help me breathe 

And wait for You 

Hold me close 

You’re fighting for me 

Winning each time 

I wrongly decide

On my own terms 

What’s important 

And what isn’t 

For right now
