Speed Limit

When I saw the mid-evening moon
I missed you on those midnights
Our thoughts after twilight
So nostalgic I swoon
My heartbeat’s speed limit is surpassed
Every time I think back at how I lost you
I beat my own mentality at my own stupidity
At how our love was so surreal and true
Your jovial face in my dreams
By you, I can’t bear to be seen
I wake so quickly as to scream
Oh, so loudly I cannot ignore
I have the key to the lock
And I can use it when I wish
But even if I use it
I cannot open the door
I see your hopeful eyes beaming down upon my face
I tread so lightly from this earth, neglecting time and space
I miss our simple love and our forever embrace
I try and escape the eclipse of my heart in my own Canopic Vase
I want to remember the fizz of the soda
I want again to hear your laughter as I hold you
I want to show just how brilliant kissing is
when we make our way through stars and then break through
Forgive me for I know I have to hold our hearts in pieces
I knew I sent a solemn wind, gentle quiet breezes
I lost you for another who’s love was like a needle
Piercing every hope of mine, my wound only increases
