This may seem a bit forward and I do not mean to shake the ground beneath you Or reshape the silver lines in the clouds that paint your sky But you fascinate me To have lived so many years in such a short time Has left a fire in your eyes that burns To rival the sun in a sublime glow This may seem a bit forward but I Just thought that you should at least know If you could see from where I stand Each strand of your auburn locks Falls then slows to a hang And holds your own brand of empowered beauty Sorry if this scares in any way But I feel it my duty to say That you fascinate me Separate me from the ghost I used to see Staring blankly from my bathroom mirror Where I once stood just left of center From where I now stand In awe of the shadow you cast So brightly on the path I swear I used to walk the line Drawn in the sand by the hand of the divine Before I found out it was only a crack In the pavement Where I stand Fascinated Captivated by the words you share Intoxicated and in disrepair From where I stand The horizon smears your name In a blur of orange and purple And those wavy auburn strands.
