Zendaya
I know a name
but is a name enough to know the story behind it
Is it wrong that I crave to know the mystery
or is it wrong to say it how I phrased it
So let me retry...
Elegantly creative
her name springs up a harmony
a thousand birds living under a lush canopy
yes, her name is known
but what of her personality
but what of her person
a secret only she is aware
yet I want to be the one to dare to explore
but the only thing we have in common
We're strangers to each other
A screen shades her presence
gasping in delight while the bright light
compliments her gracious appearance
while I sit crushed under bright weighted smile
Though I can't help but think
is it fake, plastic or is it mine
What crosses her mind
when camera calls for a close up
In her mind
does she sigh silently to no one
silently swears the pressure is too much
where is a knight to rescue me
or is it more like
'maybe once this is over
I'll be on my own
let me call up my friends
I need to enjoy the city tonight'
I can't help it, I'm curious
It's a harmless fairytale attraction
Zendaya, Zendaya
you're my celebrity crush
yes I admit it
but I'm at the back of the line
so I guess I'll take a number
while you hope for silence
and I pray for rain to help you sleep calmly tonight
Why was it you calling to me in a dream
somehow attracted to me
but I just wrote it off as what it seems
a dream...
but here it is, a trapeze
this highwire, and I am the side attraction
gambling with fate
as I try to cross the line between universes
But this isn't about me
this is about you, your angelic voice...
Well what more is there left to say
I write to live
so with my dying breath
I fall silent and whisper your name
in hopes you unfold your angel wings
fly down from your world
float down to mine
resurrect me from wherever I land
whisper one simple word for me to embrace
whisper one word for me to smile
and rise back to life
...Hi
