Grace

I watch you move and breath, mesmerized

So graceful, so impossibly bright

So lethal, such fire and light

Your dance always has me captivated

I really try to push you away

But you refuse to leave, no matter what I may say

You are forcing me to see and remember…

You're as beautiful and unique as a flower in December

It is too hard, to want and never possess

For though you smile and fight by my side

All I have is an unspoken promise

Whispered in a dark corner of my mind

Every day I yearn for a look

That contains more than gratitude

I know I oughtn't to; it's too much to ask

But I'm helpless and hopeless in such a task

Yet... I don't want you to lie

For what I crave most is your heart

Whole and true, belonging to me

So that there I can lay my head... and sleep.
