Unrequited Moon

Your eyes cloak yearning and lust Your dreams have all began to rust Anything that you kiss turns to dust If that doesn't kill them the silence must If I was a fire you would be my oxygen And your once silent heart talks again Whispering for me to stay near (Or that’s just what I want to hear) You’re the masterpiece untold of a mystery that won’t unfold You suffer a never-satisfied syndrome And you’re an orphan to love that needs a home You’re in a word cellar that needs a story teller You’re a lock that needs a key, and a bird that needs a tree You’re the night that needs a day, and a picture that won’t stay You’re the sparkling treasure, pursued through the rotten moor And you've tossed your old boyfriends in a forgotten drawer Only to take them back out on snowy nights To keep you warm under your golden lights Deep in the sea you've said to be And I see in the sea what mirrors me Your lunar heart answers only to the ocean Your gravitational pull sets me in motion Your drifting moon thrusts me with it’s rays And I swim further into your desirous waves Sinking my every shuttle and ship too soon Drowning in the ocean, to be with the moon
