Everything Else so tired
as i watch the stars
they flicker and dance
among the blue flames
they entertain my mind
through another long night
those red numbers
they take forever long to turn
watch as they change
watch as time goes by
watch as my life ticks away
the light from the tiny fire
it illuminates the faces
the faces on my walls
the pictures of precious friends
memories from so long ago
smiling faces
bright, innocent eyes
glasses, braces, just look at us
the only true love i ever found
the best friends in the world
the stars begin to fade out
they flicker again and die
suddenly its dark, and somehow cold
too dark to see inside my mind
too cold to feel you next to me
to fall asleep with you on my mind
means i wake up with a smile
it means i dream of candy kisses
hugs that heal the deepest wounds
and "I Love You"'s written in stone
and that time right before i fall asleep
when my eyes are heavy but happy
when my mind is fuzzy but clear
and everything falls into place
that is where I fell in love with you
the last three stanzas are beautiful. i think poems are best when written by candlelight on lack of sleep, too... :)
