Closer (Staring Into Lights)

To the moon, for all I care ;)

Distant,

Like the smile on my face.

But close enough to suffocate.

 

Curious,

This tremor in my heart.

Touching but somehow miles apart.

 

Forgive me if I'm wrong,

Forget me if I'm right,

While you're crossing your heart,

I hope I'm crossing your mind.

You're lying in my arms,

We're staring into lights,

You say goodbye like a lover says goodnight.

 

Terrified,

Of counting such a cost.

The lines we never meant to cross.

 

Excite,

Every thought no longer mine.

Give me a moment, I'll turn it into a lifetime.

 

Forgive me if I'm wrong,

Forget me if I'm right,

While I'm crossing my heart,

You know you're crossing my mind.

You're dying in my arms,

We're staring into lights,

You say goodbye like a lover says goodnight.

 

May you never regret a single moment you're given.

My lips have never tasted of forbidden.

One false note in this restless tempo.

We'll both act as if we didn't know.

Pull me closer, closer still.

Ever closer.

Ever closer.

 

Vous dire adieu comme un amant dit bonne nuit.

Oh this is lovely. It flows really nicely and possesses such a melodious and lyrical feel, which I adore in poetry. I also enjoyed the "to the moon, for all I care" thing at the top :) haha. The play on words you use is brilliant. Like your lines "pull me closer, closer still" this poem ropes the readers in and allows them to feel the words cascading all around. Just beautiful.

"Give me a moment, I'll turn it into a lifetime." I just love it as a whole but that line made me smile.. I hope they know, feel and love it..xo

This was wonderously captivating to me... It had a beat in the background that came to the forfront only a few times...like a cresendo then decresendo of musical frames. I liked switch of you talking to them...to hoping they think of you..it fit right in there nicely...just a small change..but didn't disrupt the flow of the piece. Thank you and I hope they do know.... :)
