star-crossed

behold this night, still and clear,
you look here just like an angel sleeping.
i wish i could ease your fears,
i would catch the diamond tears you're weeping.
in your eyes i would hide,
by your side i could defy
the forces tearing us apart.
but reality, as it seems -
looking back, is that our dream -
was fated from the start.

we're star-crossed and can't escape,
we're condemned and can only wait.
at this time now it's far too late,
the poison's in our veins.
it's true,
you can't save us.

pfah! what i wouldnt give for just another night with you! i see you and remember so well how you stumbled into bed! what, pray tell, could be more heart-rending than to look into forbidden colours? alas, i will want to look again.
