Analysis of Counting The Miles
Although we are miles apart
I feel your presence in my heart
Yet the days and nights linger on
Like a bluebird singing an eternal song
I long for your bedroom eyes
To gaze me into dreams
To deliver me from my reality
and cornered, shadowy fiends
Won't you ease my mind, dear conscience?
Give me solemn slumber and take heed
I am weary of fixating on fiery stars
that my thoughts must feed
I hunger for her intimate bliss
Her frailty to the touch
A fleeing soul with battered wings
Whose heart is not as such
