Eclipsing Love

When love is shown 
we act like we're all somewhat known
With our loved ones listening to 
us pour out our hearts

Trying to hide our love by eclipsing it like the moon
behind something we'll pay less attention to

Eclipsing love is like denying you ever have loved 
denial not being very optimistic
it would counter as an alternative to being sick

Sick to even knowing that you would dare to hide love
that you dare to show it 
and that dare would end up in devastation

It reads like a fear of falling in love, and fearing the consequences >> James
