forbidden

i need a long walk through every cloud in the sky
i need to spend a day in the core of the earth
take a train through the traffic that clutters my heart
diving so deep that i finally drown

she might be enough to drive me out of my mind
i want to stare at the ceiling till i laugh like a child
her words form before me and dangle above
hanging like fruits i'm too fearful to touch

so i turn on my side and i wonder how long
something so lovely could last in my life
wasting each hour i await her return
gathering feathers that fall from the wall

can she tell when i try to take care where i tread?
can she tell i trace circles round moments to treasure?
can she see me plant trees to cast shade on my feelings?
when she tells me i love you, does she know i believe?

she can call it charade if that's how she feels
for me this performance feels a lot more real
