night

the conversation stops as another one enters
you leave the room, leave me to pick up the pieces
I am reminded of the rain, you braced for impact
and me dancing underneath a black sky
waiting for the signal fire,
so we can clear the ground to plant the tree in secret
waiting for daylight to come
dreading the highlight that falls on us from an unforgiving sky
lead me to the starlit canopy that shelters our faces
whisper to me, tell me that my secret dreams
are wrapped up inside of your soul
I hang from your eyes and I think
I could escape forever and dream the daylight away
to this perfect place where the darkness can protect us
I sleep inside your dreams and you echo in every corner of my being
how do I tell you how far I have fallen
how do I let daylight see me now
now that I have no choice but to be wrapped up in your arms
I cant leave it so easily and wish upon another star
you have covered me so completely inside the night
that the daylight no longer threatens to wake me
