I fell in love
With a memory.
A memory of cold nights
Made warm.
I fell in love with
Past thoughts;
Beautiful dreams,
I wished to come true.
I fell in love with
The softer side
Of your demons.
Because their secrets
Spoke to my own.
You see,
I am just a simple
Creature,
Craving love and
Affection.
Gentleness and
Understanding.
A simple creature
Whose shadows
Are darker than
Any rescuing light
Could shine upon.
A simple creature
Looking for peace,
In the arms of a devil-made
Angel.
My heart was buried
Under the remnants
Of a forgotten poet.
Lost between the
Sheets of crumpled paper
And buried in the metaphors
Of a poem.
Oh, my love,
My secret stargazer,
Dance this dangerous dance
With me.
Dance into a new beginning.
Because as long as
We love as one,
Our eternity won’t feel
So long.
And because lovers never
Die.
