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
