Hanging Onto the Stars

Emeralds fall from your tears. Various decisions I face. Eternal wonder I will Relive any choice You make Tonight under these stars. Intensely I watch you, Mirrored I am in your Eyes. My faceless expression Intricately Locked in your gaze. Only tonight matters. Only your next sentence can Keep me safe. Inside I cry but Not outwardly. Your decision, not mine. Object I will not. Urgently though, I pray. Remember my Eyes and see me whole. Youthful and always Embracing you tender. Look at my lost Strength. Carefully Immersed in this Stone face. Can’t you see my Endurance? I hold on to this Everlastingly. I apologize. State your opinion, Truthfully now. Just Always see, feel, taste, and Remember the Stars we watched long ago.
