sestina~ longing for you to say...

Feb 17, 2008 18:29

The lightning awakes, and the dream breaks,
The sky is so black, but it shines out like stars,
No wind, no breeze, it still feels cold,
Where are you? I long to hear those words.
It's darkness but you cannot see,
The mirror reflecting my tears.

My life is spilt blood and silent tears,
Every minute, a fraction falls and breaks,
Only when I close my eyes, can I see,
The answer written in the stars.
I know that those unsaid words
Will save me from this bitter cold.

I finally meet you, no more am I cold.
How long did it take? I cannot stop my tears.
You promise you'll tell me those words,
The shadow surrounding me breaks,
And we can watch the stars,
Burning brightly, everyone will see.

Vivid, intricate patterns, I see
No more am I stuck out in the cold.
Every moment seems as bright as stars
And my face isn't stained with tears.
You call me again as the dawn breaks,
Again, I am lost for words.

Day after day, I crave those words,
Sweeter and sweeter, I want you to see.
This cannot last forever, it crumbles and breaks
And comes tumbling down, a flood of cold.
The dread enters my hearts in tears,
Your scream echoes in the stars.

Time doesn't stop for death, and neither do stars,
Your throat sticks with those words,
Your eyes damp with your tears.
I was delirious and I couldn't see
How your hands had become so cold.
It has ended, and the mirror around me breaks.

No longer will I watch the stars, no longer will I see,
Those unspoken words on your lips will haunt me cold,
So I stop these tears, and my heart breaks.

{ Loosely based around the theme of Romeo and Juliet.
