As Children Dream
And now the stars fall down
To lay their cheeks upon the sand
To sleep away they days until the coming dark
Wakes them, takes them right back to the sky
I need to stop denying it,
I can't keep on hiding it.
Everyone else knows it,
well you don't.
I know it but I won't admit it.
I'm scared I'll regret it.
But I shouldn't be scared.
It can't be that hard can it?
I just look in to your eyes and say it right?
I just need to risk so much for you to give me the only reply,
I need.
I want.
The movies and films make it look so easy,
half the time the characters aren't even together and one of them says it and all is fine and dandy from there.
I just don't get it,
It's not that simple so why make us think it is?
I need to tell you,
But I refuse to because I want to hear it from you f
A sudden rush of warmth,
a tingle goes down my spine.
The feel of your arm around me,
making me feel secure from the worlds monsters and demons.
I stare into your sky blue eyes as you smile at me,
pushing my hair back as it falls on my face,
corners of my mouth ascending upwards,
I can't stop them,they have a mind of their own.
I lay still trying to take in all of the embrace,
it's not very often we get moments like this.
I lay as still as a stone listening to your every breath,
I hear your heart beating,In time with mine.
Boom,Boom,Boom it goes,you pull me in tighter and I can hear mine speed up.
I turn my head to look towards y
Atlas shrugged
and you caught the Earth.
In the pause between breaths,
labored and pained,
you tried explaining
concepts of strength
while your bones creaked
and betrayed your bravado.
I will shoulder the world,
with you,
if you'd let me.
I've borne smaller globes
and understand the ache;
it's not to be carried alone.
And if I carry this with you,
perhaps we'd fall in step,
and roll this planet from your back
into orbit.
