For long I admired you
From afar
The sound of your voice, the curves of your face
My feet matched your pace
You were my wish upon a star
They teased and taunted you, my friends did,
I stuck up for you, and yelled at them too
Hiding my love
Which waited silently like a peaceful dove
Until I confessed it to you
For the first time ever
I let my heart step onto that line
Your foot came hurtling past
But you were gentle, not too fast
I didn’t think your heart broke mine
Not until I went to listen to my heart
Later that day
Instinctively I went to where
It used to be there
To hear what it had to say
I flung to the walls of my rib cage
And knew that there I had to stay
To avoid the swirling black hole
Aimed at swallowing my soul
Lodged between the broken pieces of my heart lying on the floor in disarray
One of my shoes flew off
Out of day
And into night
Oh, I had such a fright
When a black mist emerged from the hole, headed my way
As its icy hand closes around my ankle
And it drags me,, pulling me in
I can only hope that maybe you’ll love me
You might save me, or even miss me, maybe
I hope that one day I’ll see you again.
