She lays awake to count her dreams, why is her life this way?
Lifting her eye's to ever peer among heaven's array
Wandering throughout the night, as quietly she screams
Where for art thou, my true love, 'tis you my heart esteem's'
Waiting at the river's shore, her kisses clutch the mist
She fights ever internally, this lust she can't resist
Touching naught but daydreams, reaching for a chance
Capturing a moment that her memories romanced
Wading ever onward, into the current's grasp
Watering her moanings, forever will they last?
Striking out at fantasies, reaching for her star
Wishing away her desperation, lacking but a scar
She calls upon her trusted one, a galaxy of dreams
A star that she calls freedom, floating softly on the streams
It swims driftingly to her soul, and rests upon her chart
With promises that never reach the pain within her heart

the words in this poem really caught my attention, like the way that used them and such-
Where for art thou, my true love, 'tis you my heart esteem's'
Striking out at fantasies, reaching for her star
these lines are just examples of the ones that i thought best used with the words... and you did good with the rhyming as well.
