The Farthest Star

How I'd love to drink you in
To taste your skin on my lips
To open your thoughts
Between these sheets
How I'd spend the day
Curtains closed keeping the sun at bay
Somewhere between asleep and awake
Trading dreams
How I'd love to feel your hands on my chest
Pushing me away, pulling me in
How I'd love to break this promise
To sleep sometime before morning
To see you lying before me
Sated, begging release from
The illusions we insist on living in
The madness of feigning innocence
The tragedy of adhering to common sense
How I'd love to let you in
To trade this prison for the
Temple I intend to desecrate
The touch that you would love to hate
If it wasn't just what you needed
How I'd love to change your world
In an evening, leave you believing
In a moment fleeting, and a memory
Perfectly permanent.
