I am reaching
I am waiting

Reaching for the water
Waiting for it to hit my chapped lips

Reaching for the light
Waiting for it to shine in my blind eyes

Reaching for someone
Waiting for them to love me back

Reaching for the finish line
Waiting for it to break

Reaching for the blade
Waiting for the blood to leave the vein

Reaching for a savior
Waiting for my life to be more than just

Reaching
Waiting

Basically, something's missing in someone's life, and they want that something to be filled in, but it's not, so they are always reaching and waiting.

It wasn't said by me, but my favorite quote is: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis
