i should no longer (grasp) for what’s beyond (my reach)

shy, caught (in my own mind)
i missed my moment with her, the stars (misaligned)
an indian queen, her beauty like (a dream)
but now she’s gone, just a (faded gleam)
my desire was a mirage—(i leave it behind) i try to forget
i should no longer (grasp) for what’s beyond (my reach)
the ache of what could have been (it fades)
but the thought of her, it still (invades)
i open my hands, let the (longing drift) away
but it clings like fog, won’t (fade today)
i wanted her, but now it’s whispers (in the wind)
i release the weight of (what could have been)
like a river, i flow, leaving it (all behind)
searching for peace in the quiet (of my mind)
my desire was a mirage—(i leave it behind) i try to forget
i should no longer (grasp) for what’s beyond (my reach)
the path ahead clears as i (release control)
no longer bound by what once (filled my soul)
i once thought desire (made me whole)
but now i know it’s what (chained my soul)
i breathe out, with the breath (i let it go)
finding the balance (in the ebb and flow)
no more reaching for what’s (already gone)
i stand steady, (moving on)
my desire was a mirage—(i leave it behind) i try to forget
i should no longer (grasp) for what’s beyond (my reach)
the horizon is wide, free from longing’s (grip)
i let go, i loosen the hold, and (slowly slip)
the things i chased now feel (so far)
like a distant echo, a (fallen star)
desire was a mirage (in the dust)
now i walk away, rebuild my (trust)
letting go isn’t loss, it’s (quiet liberation)
i unchain my heart from (false temptation)
my desire was a mirage—(i leave it behind) i try to forget
i should no longer (grasp) for what’s beyond (my reach)
i stand in my own light, (no longer chasing)
finding peace in the stillness (i’m embracing)
moving on ain’t defeat, it’s strength (regained)
the ache of desire fades, the pain (refrained)
i let go of the dream, the (weight lifts)
what i once wanted, now just a (drift)
the fire dims, but i find a (gentler warmth)
no longer reaching for what wasn’t meant (to be reborn)
my desire was a mirage—(i leave it behind) i try to forget
i should no longer (grasp) for what’s beyond (my reach)
i find my freedom in the (letting go)
what i release makes space for the real (to grow)
desire trickles away, like (water through my hands)
what i thought i needed was never mine (to understand)
i walk into the vastness (of what is)
no longer bound by the want, (i’m free in this)

I Should No Longer (grasp) For What’s Beyond (my Reach)
