Words I Owe You

Words I owe you my freedom my sleepless nights
& you owe me my dreams as I whisper in the night
Beneath the star's fallen I make a wish
Following that star dying across my firmament
Extinguishing right before my eyes, puff
Wishing on that star falling across mt sky's
Just another soul whizzing by into nothingness
The face I see in the mirror I don't think it's me
It can not be me!
It's the face of a stranger staring back at me
those shadows beneath my door
Why there should they be!
O shadows depart from my door won't you
For you've no business there have you;
Walking across the visions
 In the streets of my mind, I've been blind
After mile upon mile just to see you
Smile casting my gaze upon you
The touches between us
The distances that separate you & I
Like a rebirth of dreams in my, minds mind
Soft so softly as I whisper tenderly
Those phrases those verses
That I owe you in their entirety
Words you owe me my vision
My lucidity my poetry...
Mais je ne veux pas le melancolie
