She doesn't know she's beautiful

 She doesn't know she's beautiful.
She doesn't know the weight of her words.

It's not what she says, but the things
she doesn't say...

That haunt me on a sleepless night
When I find myself blowing kisses
into the wind...

Hoping they might find her lips
to bring me to her thoughts...

The way she's never far from mine.

It's the dark half of the light that tethers me
to shadows here...

My mind races... It's enough to make me
crazy...

Having everything I need, and most of what I want...
When the only thing I really want is her...

Beauty sleeps. Her dreams whisper softly to me
All the things that fail to escape my tongue

When words fail me.
It's the feeling I get sometimes.
The void in my stomach

It's the subtle vibrations from the melody
my heart plays... This song without music
that has me dancing under the stars.

Reaching into the air for the unattainable.

Silver rays of the sun peek through the clouds
Trickling down the horizon.

Tears of the abyss

As if oblivion knows my pain..
This dull ache like a spear in my side.

Because she doesn't know she's beautiful
and I don't have a way to loan her my eyes.
