Stargazer (2008) Poem by David Joel Rodriguez

How is it so that you always look radiant?
Beautiful as ever being my main event
Taking each breathe away from me again
Without you there, I am left in torment

Though I feel rather safe around you,
My heart is always left with a bruise
An ache when I call which you refuse
You're not at fault when I can't snooze

My thoughts only go so far when alone
Everything becomes numb even my soul
In a state, only in my mind you're known
Yet to think you, I am all yours to control

Oh please don't vanish when I start to cry
Hold me against your soft skin to survive
You knew you were my beloved air supply
You began to fade in front of my beady eyes

Felt I was tossing around, nodding my head
Feeling cold and scared covered in my sweat
I know I heard a yell as I fell off the stiff bed
That is when I knew this dream had no end

Lost in dreamscapes, I can't locate your door
But dreaming is not as easy as it was before
And there will be many dreams I will endure
Till you're found, I don't want to wake anymore
