Closer

It was the quelling of a fountain pen;

the utterance of a heartbeat that led me to him

I just wanted to be closer.

Closer to the jar of stars that was hidden within him…..

It lay under a sea of hearts where love was almost nearly unrequited.

Your black, onyx eyes are as crystal clear as midnight skies.

I love you and although I know I could never love you again…..

Your memory dares to lie down on me once more.

I see your face as my heart turns into the sea where you left me.

Somehow with your memory, I see you collecting my heart; smiling as stars twinkle in your eyes.

How could you leave me in heartbreak?

Tell me you are still waiting for me….

wishing for me….

wanting me….

just as i want you….

But you are a poet who needs my tragedy for your art.

And here I am floating in a sea of sorrow

waiting,

waiting for you to say you’d want me

Had it been fate? Destiny?

Little do you know, I was waiting for you too….

I adore you….

Please be mine….

Stay….

Closer to me….

Closer this time….

Closer….
