Enthrall

I think I am mesmerised by you

Falling in love with you



Just a little too much

The way you sound at 4am

And when the cars pass your window



The lights ignite the room

Structuring your face with a glow



The shade of moonlight

Shining bright

Then reverting back to blackness



It's so addictive

When your eyes grow wide



And bright from reflections of sunshine peeping through laced blinds

Loosely hanging from a wooden pole

I think I've grown attached



With deep fear that you will leave

But I can't help it



Because I see all that you are

When you don't really see yourself

But then I wonder how one's heart can grow so cold



And I think

That maybe it's because it's been left out in the darkness



The cold

For too long

But some days I struggle



When there's nothing left to say

Because I still don't know how to convince you



That out of everyone

Including all the ones that leave

That I will always stand there



With an umbrella

Just big enough



Waiting

To protect you from the rain that falls down on us

To cover you



And to cover your heart.
