An Impossible Dream
You are lethal.
With those eyes of yours,
You have me caught.
Brilliant,
You are so brilliant,
The way you speak,
Hypnotic.
Your words are a drug,
Let this cocaine blur the lines between us.
Take them away completely.
I want no restrictions,
No distractions.
I want nothing to hold my gaze but you.
I want no other feeling,
Creeping up my spine,
Surpressing my breath,
No thoughts other than you.
In this moment,
Nothing can bear more truth.
This is a place I have never been before.
You are the sun,
The moon weeps every night,
Only because it is never blessed,
The moon cannot see you rise.
The moon cannot be here with you tonight.
The angels back home,
Play their harps in melodies new to my ears.
The beautiful pain this will cause,
I will smile through the tears.
Like an ocean in my head,
Swim to me,
Save me from the depths,
I am drowning.
You are all there is left.
Every word like a note,
Silk, satin and velvet tone,
A laugh to calm the nerves,
And arms to call home.
I feel you everywhere.
I can taste it in the smoke,
It wisps about,
Lining the air.
I make room in my lungs for you.
Breathe again,
Tell me your name again,
Nothing has ever sounded as such.
The boy with bruises under his eyes,
Sitting in a church pew all by himself.
Oh, how I love you bitterly.
And dear God,
I plea in this misery that I am in,
But, please do not pull me out of this rut.
I want no relief,
No substitution.
It was a high.
It was not fake.
The warmth felt attainable.
I hope you know that this will not stop.
The clashes of the chord,
The sickness leaving me bed-ridden,
This is my impossible dream.
I can be your disease.
I would forfeit everything.
Look me in the eyes again,
And you cannot lie,
Paralyze me.
Smile and knock me unconcious,
There was never someone as delusional as I,
Never another like me,
A dim lit world,
One candle burns still,
In love with an impossible dream.
