The Moon


You are the moon

That lights my night

A gleam of silver so bright

I dream all day for one more glance

A heart of emptiness but then a chance

To be with the moon brightened me too

And so I fell and realized you

Were the ocean

Deep and vast waiting to be explored

My heart wanted to be yours

So I gave it upon you to hold

But the water became cold

And I realized you were a snake

Beauty became pain

I gave you my heart in vain

Because to you it was chance

How fast to make my heart dance

To make me believe

That you were more than to be seen

It is my fault really

I allowed for myself

To want one who disappears so soon

And every night I look at you, the moon.
