Clear Lip Gloss

I.

I saw the stars shine bright
within you.
Then they fell,
no wish came true.
Such dim reflections
we cast in glass.
You're most beautiful
just wearing lip gloss.
I swear
this will be the last time.
You will stay
even if you know the cost.
You will stay
behind your grave.
You will stay
and think you're not lost.

II.

Hard to find my way
when dreaming in place.
There's no tomorrow
when lost in yesterday.
I know the lies
crafted from belief.
Surfaces are calm
as storms rage beneath.
Does it matter
who won or lost,
When the dead
are not at peace?
I know you want
me to wake up
But I just need
a little more sleep.
