A smile rather than words to emit a feeling unspoken to deceive a worried lover's hesitation, with eyes that seemed to search beyond their locked gaze
It's been dangling on the edge of her lips like an old cigarette...stale, yellow & stained with a second fix of an emotion's addiction, not yet ready to confront
A destiny's design fraught with uncertainty in love & life
So we lay, still in the darkness hands & bodies searching for a deeper meaning within one another
It's cold & unfriendly in the world beyond these 4 walls, caged security stifling our ability to grow, our desire to know
A life in which we've only seen asleep or on tv, reality more of a nightmare-ish dream
Hands intertwined, clasped, holding firm until slumber takes her away from me
Fingers slipping away until they merely rest against my skin
Moonlight illuminates the innocence in her sleepy face
I run my thoughts across her cheeks, kiss the tears that fall unbeknownst to her mind awake behind closed eyes
I fear the morning will greet us with promise, yet she will only see wasted time, wasted lines between a lover's words & the distance grows closer on the horizon
