Lichele

A Poem by Dark Tower

The last of the love genre

Lichele

I've had other girls but its just not the same
I talk about you so much that they complain
Having a hard time adjusting to not saying your name
You were the oxygen my heart was the flame
Without you I feel cold and alone
Wrapped up in blankets but still cold as stone

I had a dream about how you were made
God is the architect and it took him an age
He took a handful of stars and put them in your eyes
Wish I could dim the sun and the moon and just them shine
So I could tell everyone those stars are mine

You are the only girl who doesn't change in my dreams
Not even my dreams can make you more beautiful than you seem
I really hate clichés but you are my destiny
First time I saw you I knew we were destined to be

You are everything in this world that I am scared to lose
You over my own life if I had to choose
Roses are scared to bloom when they are around you
Your smile causes ocean storms to calm
I believe heaven exists in your arms
