Miracle... Or Mirage?

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

I'd like to tell you what I've seen
What I know has felt so right
But I can't make up my frozen mind
Don't know which words are best

Still I do hope 
 Not all is true in what I fear
Solitude is worst
 When the dark is coming near

And sometimes I wonder
 If I've seen it all
 If words were made to end
The dreams we keep inside

Sometimes it hurts just to be watching
Don't know if I see you
Or just a projection of my fears

Can't speak, can't cry
Can just conceal the sorrow
Dwelling in my chained heart

And then, for a start
I try to find your eyes
To proclaim one more rendition
Of those well-known tell-tale lies
  
And then I wonder
 If what I've seen is real
 When there's only no words
To put right how I feel

I know the outcome would be fine
If stars shaped our lives
With less celestial complicity

Say no, say yes,
But please tell me before
The questions I should ask
When I can't tell again
Of those stories inbetween
There may be more hidden inside
If only the waiting came to an end

And then I wonder
 How you made me start again 
 To hold on to these dreams
And made me see more 
Than there might be
