If I Could

if I could, I would paint the sky with your smile.

if I could I would create a symphony from your laughter.

if I could, I would hold you close and never let you disappear.

if I could I would whisper sweet nothings in you ear until the end of time.

if I could I would create a whole universe based on the stars in your eyes.

if I could, I would slow dance with you underneath the shy moonlight.

if I could I would create monuments to remind you of your beauty.

but,

you dont see a smile that lights the world you see only Grey skies.

you cant hear the whimsical bells in you laughs, you hear the sound of nails across a chalkboard.

you dont want me to hold you. you prefer to shrink and hide in the corner.

you dont believe sweet nothings because they are nothing but bitter lies.

you cant see the stars, you see the mundane void that holds no value.

you say you cant dance, your not graceful enough.

you say you dont need monuments to remind you of failure.

if I could, I would help you to love you the way I see you

love poems
