Misdirected

I’d say I love you but that could change I’d say I hate you but that would change I’d say a million words if only they could fix us I’d call you beautiful I’d call you an angel I’d speak of your eyes like they were pearls in the deep ocean But that would do no good For there is not a single soul that hasn’t told you of your glory before But I’d give you my heart My never dying love I’d give you my mind I gave you my dreams My hopes linger around your foot steps I flinch when you hurt I cry when you mourn I die when you suffer I lie by your moon as you sleep Like a princess in waiting I gaze at you till fatigue takes me away Then as I dream you fill my heart I’d give you my soul But of no value it is to you But I could give you my Love I think I shall Tonight the mirror broke A thousand pieces lie before me It shattered as you dropped my rose The rose that wilted in your hand My heart shriveled in my chest My soul crumbled in my corpse My tears echoed for ages as you went to another You have stolen my heart, my mind, my dreams Wasted my words, my time You have misdirected the glow of the moon so that its beauty was lost to me Now you leave and the world heaves a sigh "Rest now" says the moon "For tomorrow you shall meet the sun" © Samir Georges 2006
