i wonder
what if i'll stay like this forever;
lost in love and sadness.
i look at the dark sky
and feel the electric rays of the stars
in my deadly breathing veins.
my heart,
does pounds at the thought
of catching a glimpse
of your bright brown eyes
in the sky
and it makes me shine
just for a nanosecond
amidst all the gloom in my glazed eyes.
i start memorizing about you,
your smile,
the way they shined looking at me. yet, the shine didn't stay.
your hands,
the way they filled the gaps between my fingers. yet, it didn't stay.
your arms,
they way they wrapped me comfortably in them. yet, the warmth didn't stay.
and, in the end, all i recollect is,
this is all the cause of my sadness,
your ephemeral glimpses;
as all that was meant to stay, didn't stay.
