I’ll Be Your Phantom Lover It hurts so much sometimes to love, Though loved, now lost, still here thinking of, You. How close I came to you, How much it seemed to be true. But it wasn’t you... Why didn’t you come along and tell me? And save me from her, she ripped my heart through my belly. Yet still I feel you here. Yet still I know you’re near. Yet still I think of all the possibilities of memories we could share. Time after time I’ve reached out to hold you here in my arms, To console you and be entirely swept away by your charm. As I think I’ve got you and begin to tighten my grip, Nothing but a wisp of air appears and again I’m left like this. You keep playing hide and seek. I’m constantly eluded and reaching, For the love you’ve got for me. I end up in Lonely’s choir while preaching. When shall I find you, so we can go home to my mother? Why must it be so distant, tell me oh phantom lover? I’ve got an idea, that I’ll implement now n even after tomorrow, I’ll be your phantom too, Baby I’ll be your Zoro. You always come in my dreams to replace my broken heart, With the magic of your existence. You do this like its art. So my ballerina, I’ll be your prince, your phantom danseur. When your heart cries, I’ll be there to answer, In your dreams is a place I’ll make my home. A wisp of wind will feel like my fingers through your hair like a comb.

In the nights while you sleep, you’ll feel my arms around you like your sheet. You’ll know I love you when I speak. When I’m around you, you’ll feel my heat. I’ll be the one you now seek, the kiss upon your cheek, The one you will think about seven days of every week. I’ll challenge your high score in this crazy game of masochism, This estranged yet affectionate form of romanticism. Cause if in the end, winner takes all and its “winwin” for one another, Then sweetheart, I will be your phantom lover. Christopher Lee Murray 01.08.2012 Inspired by A. D.
Angel Eyes They open mine full of surprise The Brightest light that shines from her fire deep inside It’s not tainted by sin oh dear it draws me in Her eyes set fire to my soul within It brings me inner peace It keeps me on my feet Gotta stay on my grind just to keep those eyes on me My heart flies My impatience dies I just want to keep staring at those Angel Eyes Tarek X.M.
