Night and Stars

Nights and Stars

When I am near you again
I feel alive in a way I'd forgotten how to.
Your hand in mine, our spinning cadence
Happier than I should be allowed to
Left haunted by the images
The dreams my mind can draw
My need for you like sacrilege
Our dance leaves me in awe

Flying closer to you
Is like flying at the sun
I know I'll fall like Icarus
But what if I become
Photons so I can share the light?
So blinding as you are
Fusion to bring us together
Bright shining as a star

And I'll fall to the ground like Lucifer
No warnings of Pride left to teach
When I tried to leap for Heaven
I tried to grasp beyond my reach

I awake suddenly cold and shaking
Maybe this is Hell?
The feeling of waking up without you
Hurts more than when I fell
