If there really is such a thing
As magic,
It's fading
With the setting
Sun.
You always spoke of it,
Said magic would find me
Too
Someday.
I always scoffed
And you'd get mad,
Then I would laugh,
You'd fight it
But eventually smile back.
Now I wish more than anything
That you were right
About magic on my side
Because your heart isn't working
And I sure don't want to cry.
Thumping falters..
I see no light in your eyes
But I don't want to look away
Because I like the pictures
Playing in their depths.
I knew
Holding your hand on the beach
Meant something different for me
Still, you didn't pull away then
I wish you'd left
Before I saw you hurting.
But I'm not quitting my supply
So soon,
I'll let it mellow me down
For now.
The minute you touch my lips
Heat courses through my skin
I'm smoldering
But I'm not quitting on you
Right now.
Sea breeze smacks my face
An eagle shrieks overhead
As it leaves this place
With a vengeance
I long to be free too
But I'm not quitting
You so soon.
Although you're not mine to hold,
I've got you
Etched into my soul.
And you're not letting me off the hook,
I can see that,
After all, I was the one who wanted this
First.
I wish more than anything
That you were right
Because your heart just isn't working..
