The Lake

Folder: 
Highschool

I watch the fire dance and sway,
like the moonlight on this lake.

Slowly the stars start their journey,
and once again I'm with you.

Reality is a lifetime away from me.
As I feel the need to run and to scream.

I need your gaze to scald my skin,
and your kiss to soothe the pain.

I reach out to hold you,
and you melt away.

I awake with a cry of pain,
to find myself alone again.

Being in love with someone away at school.
