"Heaven..."

Your every word sounds like music to my ears
Every touch of your heated skin
Feels like silken clouds enveloping me
I want to feel your presence by my side
For every day until we die.

But this love is impossible, not meant to be
The truth of this dream tears me apart
Something that I can never have
All I'm allowed is a brief taste of heaven
And then I'm torn away from you.

Why were we made as two of the same
Incompatible by nature's standards
Abominations according to society's rules
Forced apart by what we strove to change
Rebels of our own destiny.

I stay here to keep all the memories of us
To remember what it is I lost
Crying out to the darkness, imagining
Praying that you could hear my voice
And that you would stay with me.

It's too much to ask for you to come back
You've moved on to more than this
Afraid to admit to the world
That you're no more of an angel than they are
Your broken wings fool everyone but me.

I was wondering if I wrote this to Hamasaki Ayumi's "Heaven" but I don't think so; the feel of the poem is very different and I don't usually title the poem the same as the song that inspired it. There's another poem (the one that I'll be posting next, in fact) that was written to "Heaven", though.

On second thought, I may have written this after reading something shounen-ai/yaoi-related. I'm not sure how much I really like it though; it seems overly saturated with cliched images or phrases.
