Above Dublin below my heart
- (📝Marcella Boccia) -
I soar
above Dublin’s shattered glow
city lights fading
an ember’s low
The plane hums on
a ghost in flight
but it’s you
I chase in the dead of night
Below
the streets are cold and bare
but in my chest
a fire
a flare
A love unspoken
a distant ache
a feeling that twists
with every break
I think of you
of the nights we’ve missed
of what could’ve been
of what still exists
A love that’s buried
in the darkened sky
platonically bleeding
you and I
No touch
no kiss
no whispered name
just a longing that burns
like a dangerous flame
I’ll leave the city
but you’ll stay inside
a ghost in my mind
nowhere to hide
Back to Italy
where skies are clear
but your shadow will follow
always near
I’ll carry you with me
though you’ll never know
my punked-out love
forever in shadow
So as the engines
scream and we fly away
I’ll think of you
in the darkest way
A love unclaimed
a dream untold
in the air above Dublin
silent and bold
