goodnight

with open eyes and many tries
a constant rise of the hearts cries
auspicious thoughts and hopes of love
alongside the beauty of midsummer skies

fists clenched tight all through the night
clouded sight filtering through the light
you could ask me if I love you
you would smile when I said I might

many dreams hanging on the seams
hopeful gleams and dancing beams
mind filled with wonderful thoughts of us
yet shaken with reality's extremes

however brief they still cause grief
thoughts a thief of my relief
that love could be so painful yet sublime
fills a cold mans heart with disbelief

said goodbye then wondered why
a purple sky reflected in my eye
reminded me of you, made me happy yet still
my walls crumbled and I began to cry

noone knows where life's current flows
guessing are those who say where life goes
I thought wishing for and loving you was enough
but it just made my life decompose

gone to bed with fresh tears shed
more ahead and pain will spread
if you can't love me then I'll try
try to love myself instead

I could say goodbye but I'd be back again
although I know there will be a day when
I can say it hurts no more
even now it lessens in my core
I pray for you everything will be alright
for now again I say goodnight
