Mercury

I left my home, when I left Mars.

I left my home among the stars.

I've traveled long, I've traveled far,

but I've never been to where you are.

 

The sunshine in your eyes is gone,

I see the dullness of the moon.

Faintly illuminated by the sun,

the two always in tune.

 

For I belong among the stars,

away from all the streets and cars.

Everyone has battle scars,

prisoners of their own wars.

 

You call to me, your name Hermes;

quick like silver, Mercury.

Surrounded by your energy,

indebted to all of your mercy.

 

I see it written in the sky,

everytime we say goodbye.

Two souls intertwined as one;

I'll see you when you see the sun.

 

For I belong among the sky.

My wings are clipped, I cannot fly.

It's hard for me to even try,

'cause I don't know the reason why.
