I am the warmth in your cheeks
The flushing color that creeps up your face
I am the fire in your eyes
That reflects when you try
To wish us off to a better place.
XXX
You are the laugh in my ears
The most beautiful sound that I've ever heard
You are the light in my eyes
That extends to the skies
And refuses to come back to earth.
XXX
I am the red in the sunset by the sea
That we never saw together, yet
I am the smirk on your lips
That you'd turn around and flip
Back at me when I let you win our bets.
XXX
You are the glow in the space
Where my heart used to be
You are the song
That tells me we belong
To each other and that's how we want to be.
XXX
I am the black of your coat
That guards you from the outside world
And I'll be the place
That you go to be safe
The sun to melt away the raging storm.
XXX
I may not have a heart but I bet I could bleed
If I ever had to say goodbye.
So please look back for just a moment longer
Tell me that this is only goodnight
-Tomorrow will be light.
A/N: Inspiration from Technicolor Phase by Owl City. So I was trying to write the next poem for Verses Hidden In a Name, and this came up instead. I don't want to put any shippings in VHIN, so this gets to be its own story. Blegh, this feels like I messed up Axel's speaking style compared to how I actually do poems for him… *sigh* That's what I get for trying to write poetry when I have other things to work on, and it's past when I usually go to bed. ^^;
