My heart yearns for a glare
In which the glimmer of the stars
Are framed by the cages of our irises
Where the rays of constellations
Are trapped in the void of our eyes
I wish to share my soul with yours

I want our glare
To pierce through the fabric of time
I wish for our eyes to lock before our lips touch
I want to feel your arms wrapped around my neck
As we share the warmth of our embrace
I want our universes to collide
As you press your lips against mine

I wish for you to be mine
"But that's all that ever was
Just another wish"
.

Fevered the winds on a shadow bled morning
A heart lies in pieces now slung to the path
Fractured are dreams of our yesterday questions
The waiting in stages, a long aftermath

Photographed wishes in frames on the mantle
Ashes below are the same as before
Dousing the flame while a child is missing
Charred are the matchsticks of news brokered war

Staring aloft as the moon freezes over
Memories counted abort the night sky
Falling on tears of the words never-ending
Oh can’t you see, they were too young to die
