you bask in the stage light

I’m frozen with stage fright

with bated breath I see you take your place

edges glimmering like a diamond, your strobe lights

smother my face

you sound like an angel, do you know?

voice painting landscapes, every peak and valley, 

all the creeks and forests, a cacophony of 

everything and everywhere and I’ll get lost in your world through every nook and cranny

so badly my heart beats in it’s little gilded cage,

Innocent and fluttering with rage

can’t you see I want you?

toying with my feelings, and you simply don’t know it

You’re the most I’ll ever want, and the best I’ll never have
