for love that can never be

 

She makes me see stars

whilst I walk around

with my head in the clouds.

She makes me feel so alive,

so high, like I’m bubbling inside,

she makes me smile so wide.

For I found the girl

that sings the stars

to sleep at night.

 

And when

she opens my eyes

with a softly spoken word,

when she cuddles the night,

the world turns

so much faster.

A superstar of hearts

I’m drawn to her like the

tides to the moon,

and I’m tied to the thought

that nothing this good

could be true,

but then she speaks

and I know that love lives

in her lips.

I could close my eyes

and see her face painted 

in the colours that

dance behind my eyelids,

those blue eyes, that smile,

every perfect inch of her.

 

And I sigh.

Knowing that

I will always

walk right on by,

because love can never fly

as its wings are tied

like the tongue in my mouth.

So, I let my thoughts fly south,

away from this room

where love won’t ever bloom

because the flowers are watered

under the watchful eye

of a saddened full moon.

 

And I wish for that girl

to find happiness and warmth,

love that overcomes all.

I wish for her

to see how wonderful

and magical she makes the world feel,

for she deserves the stars,

the moon, the earth and the sea.

And I wish silently

that she would one day see

some hope in me.
