Untitled

Staring out the window, lying in the dark

Wistfully wishing for moon and stars

But blinded by a streetlight

Blotting out the beauty of a sky at night

As surely as the world seperates you and I

 

Pressing my face to the glass

I cannot see them, though surely I can feel them

Toying with my mind at the edge of my perception,

Like your hands wrapped 'round my heart

-shining in the distance

 

The stars will shine again one day,

But I wonder if I'll ever know your face

Or will it remain forever out of reach

-just sparkling light on midnight canvas

 

Such bittersweet thoughts twist my mood

So I fall asleep to dream of you

-and streetlights turn to stars and moon
