The ceaseless tears of this obsession
Drown my face in the lonely night,
It is all the fantasy of imagination,
But I want to encircle your neck with kisses
Like the necklace your grandmother gave you.
I admire your perseverance and dedication,
You go to work and you’re still in school
Pursuing your Masters degree;
You keep Coldplay melodically
Playing in your stereo.
It has nearly been a year
Since I’ve seen your sad and pensive eyes
And the source of that sadness you never did reveal,
Not even when I was vaguely in your life,
But it pulled me in like a planetary black whole,
In every way I prayed to the gods
I could know you.
Your birthday is a few weeks away,
You may celebrate with family in Pennsylvania,
Or you may sing karaoke with your special friend;
Now, I only implore the gods
To see you again!
Uriah Hamilton
