5 am 4th of July You comment on the starry sky The cold grass And sharp night air Nowhere I'd rather be than there But it's late, Sleep calls Fall off the ground And float to your door Like no one's around Tiptoe loudly Down the stairs And ignore your bold, and close-eyed stare Climb, lazily, into your head And pull the covers over my eyes Scent of cologne on your pillow Swin high through your complex mind Just being here Amongst your posessions I feel complete and lost in obsession Warmth fills the air and daybreak fills my soul I know i'll have to leave with the stars But right now I know I'm home Drift off to sleep With a smile on my breath You, all around me A haze in my head It's quiet now Just you and I Here in my dreams On the 4th of July ~*~Linzi~*~ "Ignore reality; there's nothing you can do about it" ~ Natalie Imbruglia |
