Shadows of Streetlights

I’ve been waiting here for a glimpse of your eyes beauty

A tiny ray of hope in a world filled with misery

I dont know the path out of my hearts darkness

But then you came around and pulled me out from it

But here we sit alone in the shadows of the streetlights

The pain in our hearts fading quickly from our eyes

But i have seen the world crumble before us

And now i have tasted the love between us

 

But here i once was all the pain and the heart ache

The failure we both have suffered first hand

But out of the night a shadow followed us

The loneliness departed and the pain was set sideways

I was once alone but now i am far from it

I have tasted the pain of being inside it

But now on the brinks of the edge you pull me on over

The sunshine was bright but your eyes were brighter

 

Here is the line between dreams and fantasy

And here is the place where you and I meet

The world was divided with pain and suffering

And on the other side was the light and your eyes

I found them at last and i won’t be subsided

I dreamed and i prayed for someone to find me

Not a vision of division but true love to hold me

But here i have sat, a year since yesterday

Totally alone with no motive for slow decay

 

I spent some time in the summer only thinking

What would i do if i could go back to the time of the beginning?

And start all over and never make a mistake

But then i realized if i did that

I would have never met you never held never touched you

And my eyes would only stare into darkness

With the dreams that we had, are they only visions beneath my eye lids

And here we sit a thousand miles apart

I miss you so damn much my heart refuses to start

It wont beat alone it'll only beat for you

But i can’t come back with anything sweet

That i wish i could say

I am horrible with words

But just remember i love you, i need you i miss you

I want to be in your arms just to stare into your eyes

And tell you these words

That dont nearly mean enough

But i am coward in life and a coward in love

But what if i could sing like the boys in the bands you like                                                          

Or if i could talk like the Britain i sleep like

But I couldn't lie to you

All of these people, they i could do

But here we are now only alone with our fantasies

Dreaming pretty worlds with drawn out mockeries

Of what they really are

But what does it matter

Here you are and here i am,

Could it get much better?

Very little poetic value

you are writing out your pain, not contributing anything. Sorry but this would best be written on paper and burnt or posted personally to the person involved cheers, Jess
