A Lily

Am I a fool?
I know this empty feeling I feel creeping in.
I know this hurt, this shudder deep within.
I could have seen this coming, and I walked right into it anyway…

Is it her, or the thought of her?
God, I knew I needed it, but I wanted it, too.
A thorn of love pushed deep inside taught me the truth.
Forced to hit the ground running, maybe I’ll throw it away…

I can’t resist her hands, she makes clear days feel certain.

I’m going to miss her quiet ways.
I have never felt such a thrill or passion for new life.
And never have I before held a flower like her so close to me.
I think I’m getting lost.

I’ve been wandering these woods for weeks,
Wondering what she’s worth to me.
These trees became a ceiling and her heart my door,
And I’m locked inside with my feet stuck to the floor.

I reached the prettiest of highs when I’d stare into her eyes.
