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.
