Paradox

I do not stand alone in my world, cos she fills it

Each text she sends in the morning lighting my phone like the rising sun

Promising a new day with no cloud and no adversity

She will be with me, and for today, I feel no rain

The soft smooth morning sky; her satin silk skin

The beating rays of sun; her eternal promising smile

The deepening view out of my window; a sight into her eyes

A wander into the fresh; a dive into her heart

A day with her builds my crumbled hope

And holds my ambition high whilst motivating me to strive

My arms longing further and stronger,

If only she would return my embrace

A day spent with her is like sitting within a cloud

Below is the world we leave behind

But droplets of doubt bring a flooding of reality

If a chance of us together is the sea, I am merely floating on imagined dreams

Like dew in the morning my lashes carry tears

We’re together, but always apart

A glimpse of our potential love is a star in the sky

That shines so bright but dies before realising reality

Within me my soul may never rise again

And this heart will beat no more

For all I am is the love she provides

And today, I am always night
