Foolishly I Try

You bring
The fireflies
In my stomach

I run
Foolishly I try
There’s no getting away

You are the dream
No yesterday
Just all today’s feelings

You are the cord
That ties my heart
I am a slave to this ache

It’s the unstated beauty
That has hit me
The blindness replaced by you

Now there’s a wish
To know
Your playground

Learn the games
That bring
The smile I crave

Melt in the eyes
Where I would
Leave everything

Evaporate on lips
That will
Drink me into oblivion
