Yours is the voice I hear
just before I fall asleep

seductive whispers
that wrap around my ear
like silk

yours is the hand I reach for
in the dead of night

when the stars abandon me
and the moon grows pales

yours are the lessons I’ve learnt
about life and love

and I try to love you

I try

but those whispers
don’t reach my soul

that hand
doesn’t reach my heart

and those lessons shake
with the echoes of pain

I try
but I am burnt

and no balm exists
to cool my wounds

Maybe it's the sunshine

Or the color of your eyes

Maybe it's the moonlight

Or the color of the sky

If i could freeze this moment

I would stay here every day

If i keep singing love songs

Will you promise me you'll stay

And oh,

You're the only one i see, and

There's nowhere else i rather be, and

We can't explain the way we feel

But i believe in you and me

Tell me all your secrets, baby

I'll tell you mine

We'll keep them between us

Til the end of times

Anything could happen

We don't have to know

Whatever we imagine

It's possible

And oh,

You're the only one i see, and

There's nowhere else i rather be, and

We can't explain the way we feel

But i believe in you and me

Who forgot to put the moon to bed?
For it is day
and still he looks at me.

like water
I poured myself into her until she was overflowing at the brim

like reinforced steel
I bridged my heart to hers and welded myself to her soul

like the sun
I filled myself with light to cover her darkness

like a blanket
I shielded her from the harsh world underneath the covers

like magnets
I orbited her aura until we inevitably collided

like a seed
I felt myself growing up from her

Then, like an idiot
I could tell she felt nothing.
