a rose

i went to bring you a rose
but it withered rather than
being compared to you
the candy melted
for its' sugar couldn't compete
with your sweetness
a diamond sparkles only as
a reflection of your eyes
and gold just wants to coil
on your fingers and arms
because elsewhere it is plain and useless
when eyes gaze at you
they behold you
when arms hold you
they become weak
for holding you is like
touching love
so i lay next to you and
feel complete bliss
for surely i can't deserve this
perhaps god
is just letting me
dream this
so that when i awake
i will be punished for my sins
by not being next to you
i will gladly suffer the pain
of not being with you
just to live the dream
for truly
if i was really laying next to you
i would in heaven
and you an angel
telling me that love is real
