scared of the dark

The milky twilight 

Soft and still

Drenches me in feeling. 

 

My eyes illuminate, 

Reflecting the light of a million stars

Each one a place I’ll never know. 

 

In this moment, 

Alone, 

With nothing but starlight 

Memories

And lost dreams to guide me

I wonder if I’ll find my way back to you.

 

Take the road I said I would.

 

Follow my fantasies,

 

Or if I’ll turn around to gaze

At the expanse of road behind me

 

And run.

 

Run towards me

And my future I misplaced along the road to your heart. 

 

Future can’t be fantasy. 

I yearn for more than just a person. 

 

You can’t be all there is to love.

    my mind doesn't listen when I tell it to stop.

    what do you do when you cross the sea without me? 

    on this warm night, I stand outside in the blue dark. 

    I wear a bathrobe over my pajamas 

    and old crocs that are faded purple

    it's almost night on the Tyrrhenian Sea 

    homes glow like stars on the cliffside 

    and waves of green lap against the side of the boat
