Elusive Love

Long lazy days
Cool summer nights
Skipping along
Flying emotional kites

My eyes gaze your way
Is it really you
A fluttering hope
Leaving me blue

My heart skips a beat
How do I compare
Eyes down to feet
A flower in my hair

Why do I fall short
In your eyes
Why am I not beautiful
A criminal, I surmise

Abandoned and alone
Laying on my bed 
Waiting for an answer
A long foreboding dread

The subject of a study
To figure out a crime
Poetry in my heart
An eternal rhyme

Searching for love
Strength and power
We fit like a glove
Be my lover

Wistfully dreaming
The day good bye
Darkness prevails
I breath a deep sigh

I wish i could die
