Below The Horizon

We still hold hands

and look into each other

The sweet song still plays

and we are still in motion

still with the beats.

You still come back home

and then throw tantrums.

You walk away sometimes

and still dance on your knees.

We've carved a little reality

from the corners of your dreams

and we live in a beautiful house

a lake flows in front of it

and we still play in the waters

still fall ill.

I'm still your nurse

nursing the broken of your dreams.

You still seat me on a chair

and sing me lovely songs.

Now, you're just asleep,

here in my arms.

All, below the horizon.

We still run those cars

chasing stars.

And live those dreams

below the horizon.

'cause everything is perfect

and in place,

below the horizon.

We wake up every morning

and then, go to sleep.

Below the horizon.

It's all virtual

up, above here.

But below the horizon 

is my reality.

-I like this line.

The poem is absolutely lovely! So dreamy with a wistful note. And the repetition of "below the horizon" provides a dramatic effect. Well done!

Feels more dreamlike that reality...below the horizon where you're still reaching for the stars. A lovely read, I could go many places with this one Mehak.
