Staring at the sky,
Screaming on the inside,
lighting up to be high,
vanishing from where I reside.

Slicing open my veins,
Wishing to sleep all day,
like a corpse to be lain,
without another I lay.

broken, haunted thoughts,
Scattered, desolate dreams,
A innate nature to be fought,
bursting out at the seams.

I see your face,
Pale and white in the moonlight.
I look at the stars,
The stars that shine in your eyes.

The air is thick and solid,
Yet soft and smooth.
I feel paralysed,
Although all I really want to do is move...
Closer to you.

My stomach is flipping,
My heart has stopped.
I'll admit my mind is scared,
But my body begs for you.

We can be together,
I know we can.
Just come a little closer,
I'll prove that I'm your man

the stars were trying
to impersonate
your eyes tonight,
and art is trying
to make someone
love you,
the stars and art
were so convincing
that it made me vow
to cherish you
like you are
the most expensive
piece of art
and the most
unreachable star
that ever existed.

do you always find it this hard to love yourself?
