What Beyond LiesA Poem by David-Tyler
I could tell she was tired by the vacant look in her eyes
Who knows what beyond lies Is it the truth, is it the stars forming a sacred world That whole girl is a new possibility come uncurled Come out, come out, come out tonight I'm begging you, let's do this right I only get you for the rest of our lives, and what comes after I hope in my next life I remember your smile and your laughter The wind in all its might, helpless in your hair Oh how the world trembles in your stare You stole my heart and my desire, I'll never get them back But at a least I know the rest of my life will have nothing to lack Oh, I got everything right in my arms Ensnared by your temptress charms If only you knew you carried the universe in your curves The cute ways you find to get on my very last nerves I drove my whole summer break Just for my sake Because I'm only whole when we're eye to eye I'm only alive in the midnight hour you sleepily sigh Your lips speak the life into my soul When you say you love me, you rebuild me whole I'll always be there to hold you when you're cold Because I'm not who I am without you to break my mold Come out, come out, come out tonight I'm begging you, let's do this right Who knows what beyond that starry eyed gaze lies Oh, naturally brown like nature's trees, spiraling yellow like lightning, I'm on my knees © 2018 David-Tyler |
