A Playful Misconception, A Childhood’s Dream

Your head on my chest.
You softly hummed a tune.
As we laid on your sofa,
tenth night in a row.

-

Outside the night sky sings,
beautiful melody of silent serene.
Nothing else mattered,
as we laid there and breathed.

-

That current state of existence,
only lovers could have experienced.
I laid there with my heart opened.
For you everything I would dare and risk.

-

I looked at you,
I could only see your forehead,
The fragrance from your hair,
you have conquered my all.

-

I said, "Hey."
You didn’t budge.
"Hmm?" was your reply,
I repeated again.

-

You looked up and said, "Yes?"
Our eyes connected.
Those beautiful eyes,
I could stare till I die.

-

Beautiful face I don’t deserve,
yet your petal lips to me you reserved.

-

And with no force and no strain,
no other words could have replaced.
There it was, I laid bare.
"I love you."
I wasn’t afraid.

-

You turned back, cheek on my chest,
shied away a tear of joy.
Softly you whispered, I barely heard,
"You don’t know how happy that made me."
And gave me a tighter squeeze.

"even when we are made to be broken
I still want you to know who I am"

-

standing here in the shadows
I’m peering through my sorrows
the girl who has conquered my whole
doesn’t seem to understand me at all

-

I watch her fly higher than I can
soaring through the autumn rain
she loves to watch the clouds go by
consciously slowly leaving me behind

-

sometimes I see her in the deadly darkness
I see her crying out her tears
but like all visions will come to pass
and all that’s left is my world collapsed

-

an iris across the darkened sky
majestic colours invisible in the night
no hearts will fall on my yearning lullaby
as loneliness swallows this forlorn sunrise

-

"even when we are made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am"
