Fame
His trepid gaze casts downward
locks hold behind his tousled black hair.
I know of his fame, he knows none of mine.
Just my name in a place.
I have stood an arms length away
I have longed in vain.
There’s a life in my mind I’ve lived with you by my side.
Yet you never knew….
I stood an arms length away.
I have longed in vain.
Oh love Oh love
Where do I go to find you, but in the lights?
Only in my weakened memory.
Where in your lurid eyes I turned in dismay.
Knowing no other way but apart.
