My Turn

The moon giving off a captivatingly dim illuminate light Hiding itself behind the clouds yet still showing enough to shine bright All the while at that moon I stare Trying so hard to take my risks, my chances, push in myself to dare To jump, fly high and live free To view the world as it’s meant to be Oh, it sounds so good to do, it seems so right I’m on the edge and suddenly, once again, I’m paralyzed with sheer fright When will I get past my fears, will I ever learn When will I let go and get to me again, when will it once more be my turn Like most I long for that eternal flame the everlasting love fire That passion that one just can’t tame, my one, and only desire Someone who will love me for what and who I am on the inside Not for my looks on the outside Someone with whom, I can be real and not pretend That special guy I would want to love until the end But I keep sticking my heart into the fire only for it to burn Will I ever love again, when is it going to be my turn Why do some keep giving their hearts and souls away? Knowing that love is such a hard game to play People toy with someone’s love and devotion Break you down stealing your emotions I have done this many times Hoping with each one, he would forever by all mine But out of all, only one, so far, has ever truly owned my heart Even though he to has torn it apart I can’t however, just continue to sit here alone and for him wait Life’s too short, I don’t want to be too late So, for now, for him, I may still deeply yearn In this time it’s my moment and to live free and try not to get burned It’s finally my turn
