I could place my icy hand gently against your cheek
But it would pass like mist right through your oblivious face.
I could scream out your name, but the sound would be so weak
I could swear I was locked in an invisible case.
Waiting in the safety of shadows for you to see me
Daydreaming of futures and nights that will never be.
While you shine ever brighter before my mortal eyes.
These emotions surging in me are my own hidden demise
While you’re walking through life with your back turned away
I’ll be nearby thinking about you, evening and day.
The world is pulling me back, tearing me from this dream.
But you’re perfect to me, not matter how they make you seem.
I’m sure you have a million imperfections and flaws.
But my lust has rubbed my common sense and logic raw.
So I’ll be hanging in suspense till I turn to dust.
All because of my foolish heart and untamable lust.
