lost verses (midnight rhapsody)

But I am lost to you now. There's no amount of reason to save me.
- Jewel, Break Me


*******

IN YOUR SLEEP

If you would let me rest beside you
And watch you in your sleep
And picture how lovely it would be
If you'd stare back and watch over me
With the same intensity and longing
Even for a night
Then you and I won't be as empty.

*******

DUSK

And the moon bears witness
As you take me to our makeshift heaven
Where your voice,
That trembles and deceives
Sets me in motion.
And we dance, graceful
With you leading
Fluid and rhythmic
Until gleaming mists veil us
As we come together in this firelight.

And when the gold and amber light
Fades to gray, you'll briskly take flight
Leaving me yearning for dusk to arrive.
