Aching Dust
You need to listen to me when I say
I simply cannot do this anymore
I understand why you turned away
In my eyes, there was something that told you
I was no longer the youth I once was.
I used to harness the wind
Not even your arms could hold me
I have tried in my own way to love you
I want nothing more than to kiss you
through the braids of Orion's constellation but now stars are dying at my feet
They twinkle then fade away like aching dust.
Part II
My heart is a furnace — it warms to others warmth.
those who aren't you aren't of any interest to me.
But yet I sit and watch the embers dissolve.
