Bars

Living in a dream world Staring out beyond the stars Walking through the heavens Yet stuck behind these bars In between my breathing I can feel my aching heart The clock is always ticking It’s time for us to part She leans against my shoulder Goes as quiet as can be Her chest expanding slowly As she takes a breath of me I take a mental image She’s lying here so still I’ll be here when you’re ready I promise you I will As she slowly exhales A smile engulfs her face Her eyes as bright as diamonds My heart begins to race Moment after moment It all seems so surreal The love continues growing These thoughts I must conceal The moment always passes It’s time for us to leave Thoughts of having more Are difficult to believe And as we turn the corner One more question to be asked Where does this all leave us When will it be unmasked Will we live beyond the heavens And dance among the stars Or will we be in prison Stuck behind these fucking bars.
