Not superficial
You decided not to run from me
That shows you look to people with an open mind
And want to know more before leaving it all be
I would feel closer if I could
See your natural being
Not in a picture of you hidden
For no one else to see
“Day by day I will come”
he said, and I waited...
patiently, burning, lost
as if on fire
only to find that I am sadly
facing my own desires
my dreams and wonders cease to come
Eyes twinkling as they look to
The stars in the sky
And the night whispers
Those days have gone away
I don’t guess what I feel in
The marrow of my bones
In the very core of my being
And my heart fears...the nightmare
Wakes in my slumber
And I come to finally realize
You are not mine
