Aurora

You are

The song I never sing

The lyrics so perfect

I dare not tarnish them

With sound

The poem I keep reaching for

When all the world is

Shadows and charlatans

The empty page who

Spends her days

Captivated by the hidden stars

I sit

With these words on my heart

I dare not transcribe them

For fear of where they lead

You've got me

Wrapped up in your coffin and

I don't want to breathe

Trapped inside your sadness and

This contraband smile could be the key

You are

The lover I keep reaching for

And some day you'll see

Me.
