Lust-Love




If I was to look into the skies
And pick my favorite star
I guess you know it would be you
I guess you know I would want for you to fall from these skies
And come hold my hands
So that I take a walk on the other side of your foot steps

I would want you to be the back of my mind
And walk on the streets of my soul
And finally touch my heart

See,
I would like for you to come
And stay in my heart and pay no rent
But then again
I would be damned if I compare you to God
For God gave me these eyeballs to see your beauty
And created these same eyes to rain tears when you’re not here with me

But that’s just not it
You’re the cornerstone to everything I am
And you bring out exactly the beautiful part of my day

You live in my fantasy
A place where
 I want to let my words touch the part of your body where my hands can’t
Like your heart
Your smile
And those beautiful eyelashes when you blink
And those eyelashes give me heart eyes anytime I see them
I want to let you know because I have turned looking at you into a habit

In my world of fantasies
Your view is flawless
Like a matte purple moon
A vain hope that makes me always
Imagine kissing your forehead
Holding you tight
And telling you that you’re mine 

But I’m standing in an alternate universe
Where your body wants all of me
But your heart is with someone else
It’s okay to live in a moment which feels like Elysium
And get crashed by a gravity pull which is reality
Knowing  deep down that she is never going to be yours

If I was to pick my favorite star
It would be you
So till your love disappears from the skies
I pray, that I will still have another day to look for your heart
In the morning when the sun comes up
