Every night when the skies turns to dusk, I chase the stars across the earth.
I chase the dreams and hopes that you embedded within my fragile heart. I chase the promises your kisses abandoned upon my tainted mellow skin.
The stars glimmer when times seem the darkest. So I run after the miniscule daunt of light that allows me to see truths within these hours. I chase them so they may not slip away between my finger tips as a shadow.
But the thing about the stars, are that they stand too far away for me to touch. I can only see them shimmering within the darkness, but I can never wrap my fingers around the angels that float in nothingness. Never be able to touch what seemed to be so close.
Your heart speaks more than the words that pass your crimson lips. And while your lips speak beautiful promises that the sun cannot even dawn upon me, your heart's still yearning for the woman that left.
You were my stars I was chasing after all these long sleepless nights, as you dreamed beside me. Because while beautiful promises escape from your lips that sang descants of our futures
your heart was too far gone, captured by the woman you truly love.
I was chasing what was too far gone.
I was chasing the stars.
