midnight sky

midnight sky

will you undress me

with bedroom eyes

one last time

before sunrise returns

our illicit affair

slips into shadows

where hearts burn

secret

you were just a whisper

to the midnight sky and

I played my part well

I was just a simple rose

among many others you

eyed but never plucked

we were just a dream

that could only live

secured in our minds

to speak it out loud

would cause great

walls to tumble down
