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
