I Search For You

I search for you
between lyrics of songs
engraved into the memories
of every lovelorn heart
by fires of loneliness.

I search for you
in the darkness of moonless nights
where I see nothing
but the colour of your anonymous love,
where I hear nothing
but the sound of your amorous voice.

I search for you
in the midst of a maddening crowd
at a parade of charades under fancy facades,
with no face to behold
but truth coated with a million lies.

I search for you
in the corners of blue misery
and on the edge of a heart
never touched, let alone broken.

I search for you
in unfulfilled dreams and imagined realities,
longing for Cupid's brutal wound,
longing for you,
longing for my other self.
