The Astronaut
Every word you utter to me is a riddle
Every look you give me is like a piece to a puzzle
But I can try to be anything you want me to be if it means I can have your love in return
You look at me with those eyes- so full of lust for only one thing
You never see the full picture, never look long enough to take in all the intricate details
All you see is all anyone can ever expect from a single glance
Get to know the story behind this body, this body that you always long to touch
But lay a different hand on me-
A soft hand that says you understand me
Instead of that wandering hand which always ends up south
You, to me, are like an astronaut
Stealing some rock from some planet-
Stealing some heart from some girl
If only my heart had the same value to you as a rock to an astronaut
Maybe then I'd be happy
But it doesn't
Imagine that
Your heart, the core of your soul, being less valuable than a piece of stupid stone
Imagine that
Then maybe you would see things from my point of view
So get in your spaceship and fly off into space
Perhaps if you are gone then I can imagine you are just part of some awful fairytale
But whilst you remain here, sharing earth with me
My heart will continue to feel unvalued
Like that stupid rock cracked in two.
