Endurance

Annie Stegg Painting

When you are afar
I feel the distance
Is just an instance
Of endurance
But from the first instant
I know I can't tolerate
At any rate
This fate
And I hate
The space
That makes you far
Like a blazing star
I can only see
But can not embrace
And to bring you to me
I will fight the destiny
Dare the universe
I don't want the glee
I just want you in my arms
Not my Avatar
