Your eyes hold the heavens,
your lips hold the sea.

Galaxies float above me while
I dream of other lives.

Why can't it be me,
do you not see how perfect,
how everything you say,
how every move you make,
proves we are meant to be?

Why won't you open your eyes and see
just how beautiful you are to me,
I see a picture of the stars,
I think of you,
the ocean waves whisper your name,
I can't escape your ever-living grace.

I can't change how I feel,
my heart has been carved out
and stitched back together with
every word that you say,
your breath keeps me alive,
even though you are so far away.

*Please, we are meant to be.
Please, I want us to be.

I can't move,
I can't breathe,
stop staring,
every person in the room,
staring, glaring.
Heat surges through my veins,
from my ears straight to my toes,
heart is racing,
sweat beading,
staring, glaring.
I can't speak,
I can't see,
stop staring,
i'm shrinking,
I want to disappear,
why can't I disappear?
Staring, glaring.
I can't run,
i'm locked in this cage,
my mind's a mess,
tearing me apart,
why are they staring,
why are they glaring?

You are the closest thing
I have to a star.
