It’s so hard not to find you irresistible
even though you break me apart
with your smile and every bittersweet word you utter.
your slight frame begs to be held
protected
touched
but not by me, despite your words
you have your men
lesser men by my standards, but then I’m judgemental
or so they tell me.
your dark glasses hide your eyes from the world
but I can see them, and I know you’ve been crying
your tears are the stars in my sky
your smile is the sun

You know that I love you
but you’re in love with freedom, and you always said;
“you mustn’t love a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get,
until they're strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree and then to the sky.”

but you’re still here, in my haunted mind.
I don’t want to see you go
I want to own you and to belong to you
but sometimes I really wish you’d just
fly the hell away
