written in high school, i think...

reach

what can i express to You when i have no expression at all.

every word on the tip of my tongue dances away and i begin to fall.

grasping, yet never catching. reaching so far, you'd think i'd find something by now.

but You are still out of reach.

You are out of my understanding.

You, You are so much more than me.

but You come to me.

You came down, and touched my hand.

You picked me up, because i had fallen down. when You were out of my reach You came to me.

all i have to offer You is my nothingness, each empty breath.

singing, dreaming, ending w/ nothing. grasping, yet never catching.

reaching so far, you'd think i'd find something by now.

but You are still out of reach.

You are out of my understanding.

You, You are so much more than me.

but You come to me.

You came down, and touched my hand.

You picked me up, because i had fallen down. when You were out of my reach You came down to me.

filling me up, holding me high.

You carry me, and lift me up.

so now when i grasp i catch you.

when i reach i find something every time. because you came inside my reach.

You are teaching me Your understanding. 

You, You are so much more than me.

but You come to me.

You came down, and touched my hand.

You picked me up, because i had fallen down. when i think You're out of my reach, You reach for me.
