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
