In a Locket

I want to take this night
And put it in my pocket
Shut it up and lock it tight
Around my neck in a locket

I want to hold the stars in my hands
And place them in jars like fireflies
I want that feeling where you can barely stand
As you and I watch them glow like sunrise

I want to feel beautiful for one more night
Without you having to say a word
I want our eyes to burn so bright
When we take everything into our world

I want to remember the muffled sounds
Of when we last dreamed in an underwater chamber
I want to remember us screaming aloud
As our castle turned into sewers

I want to feel the glass that broke open our flesh
When we woke up in a pile of shattered dreams
A cornucopia of sadness, we swam in this mess
Drowning ourselves to arrive beyond moonbeams reach
