Was feeling artistic the other night and wrote this , the words just flowed from my lips to my fingers
This emptiness feels like a curse to me
when I'm hoping that--
by striking the sky starless to light a smile in your eyes,
placing drops of the MilkyWay between the dimples of your smile,
and gift-wrapping the heart that now bears your name
to set it gently in your palms should you so choose to accept it--
you might look beyond the make-believe of the words I speak to keep you in the dark
and discover that all I'm wishing upon tomorrow for
is one chance to mean the world to you.
If only I could love you for just a day.
The loneliness inside me is a hateful reminder
of how empty my life is without you
to hold a candle to my heart
and warm it with your smile,
a hint of love shining in your eyes.
Engulf me in the flames of your words
and soar me beyond the man-in-the-moon
on wings of feathered hopes
and the winds that dreaming brings a pounding heart;
whisper my name into the sunset
as if next decade's bound to find us too soon
and write words of tenderness into the constellations
with the air of knowing what you want
and not caring what the rest of the world believes of you.
I could fall through galaxies not yet discovered for you
if only for the mere hope of seeing
the look you placed within my eyes
reflecting back at me upon your gaze,
even if the moment is stolen from my grasp
within a few measely seconds.
Dreams are the closest I get
to you holding me close
feeling your soft, warm lips
sweetly on my own.
I want to tell you
how I feel when my eyes
meet yours.
I lose all train of thought
when you're around
feel like an idiot when I have nothing to say
when my eyes speak volumes.
Just once,
look at me as somebody you could love
not somebody you smile politely at
then merrily jaunt on your way
leaving stars and hearts in your wake.
Just once,
open those pretty eyes of yours a bit wider
and understand the implications
of the tremor in my voice
when I can think straight enough to stammer a hello,
of the light dancing across my pupils
as I try,
oh so very hard,
not to get lost within your smile,
and of the way I seem a fool
when I prolong the conversation
just to avoid having to say goodbye.
I know you see right through me sometimes,
as the rest of the world tends to view me
as just another foggy shadow of a girl,
but just once,
try to look beyond the world's thoughts
and see the person who stands before you
for what she really is...
a girl who tipped herself off a cloud
in the hopes of stumbling into your heart.
Tell me
are my hopes in vain?
Will I never cease longing to
say "I Love You"?
Will your eyes ever hold
the sparkle
that the stars have in the sky?
In my dreams
you are mine forever.
You love me so unconditionally.
Every smile is a burst of sunshine
shot like arrows into my heart.
If I could,
I would take those arrows you have pierced me with from Dreamland
and hand them willingly to Cupid
to use upon you at the next sunrise...
but I know that I could never hope
to force your heart to fall for me
if I'm not what you really long for.
Tell me...
will tomorrow bring just another day
of sugar-sweetened hellos that melt like chocolate on my tongue
and a thousand paper promises I write myself within the creases of my heart,
or will you awaken to my smile
blaring in your eyes
and the tinklings of my nerve-drenched voice
whispering forever across your cheeks?
Will I ever get to see
the day you tell me
you can't live without me in your life?
I want to ask you to be with me,
for now, for ever.
But I'm afraid of what you'd say.
My heart couldn't handle
the negative response you'd give me.
I swear I would never hurt you,
never do anything to earn
the distrust you are so used to.
I won't hurt you like she did,
I'll never stab you in the back.
If you'd give me a chance
I'll love you and never let go,
I swear you wouldn't have to worry.
Please, please
say you'll be my knight.
Say you'll sweep me off my feet
and into a fairytale ending
neither of us ever expected to find,
because the clouds in your eyes
will never release rain upon your face
if you would let me show you
what it is to be loved
the way I long to love you.
Say you'll be mine,
and I will set your heart within my chest
to foralways hold and cherish.
Just give me a chance
to prove I'm not going to cause trouble.
Give me a chance to show you
that I'll be forever faithful.
I want no other,
as long as I have you.
From you, I'll never stray.
I'd die to know you love me.
So please,
whisper sentiments across my neck
and hug me like you'll never be able to again,
because tomorrow's going to come too soon
without you holding on to me.
Tell me you love me,
and I will move the stars from the sky
to write your name within the constellations of my reality.
Tell me you love me...
and I'll hold you until forever reaches it's final day.
