Turquoise blue
a hint of black
And just like that
my heart leaps.
An engrossed carving
soft midnight hairs
and seemingly softer eyes
My smile competes to be the softest.
"My wish is your command."
In the mirror
in the dark
is when you see.
Hold my hand while I try to remember
Let me create a pure image of you
Convince me, my dear
that you really do love me.
"What do you have to go through?
What are your struggles?"
But the way you look at me
and the way you restrain yourself
I will always remember.
Greet her well
And kiss me when I thank you
in case I decide to face the truth.
"If I can make your eyes sparkle
but everyone else can too
I will just try harder."
You have won
I even will myself to forget.
Slip into my mind
little sweet dreams
replace those that weren't so pleasant.
Like a fool
I let myself go
Murmuring to myself
in hopes that when I am alone
I can pretend you are here.
"How will our baby be?"
"Your soft eyes, my soft smile
makes the baby the softest of all."
Good night, little baby. |
