The Moon For Stars

Been searching for a love, a home;
a place to call my own.

A place where I am wanted, 
welcomed, cherished; down to my bones.

I dream of gentle fingertips
that trace over my skin.

A soul who always chooses me;
come time and time again.

I swear that I can feel the warmth
of a real True Love's embrace.

And if my tears should fall 
they're gently wiped off of my face.

I really cant explain it 
but my whole life I've believed...

That out there was a soul 
who's eyes were truly just for me. 

Those eyes see only beauty,
even in all of my flaws. 

Every bump, bruise, even scars 
are loved... accepted afterall.

A love which wouldnt leave me,
nor would it dwell upon my scars.

A dedicated lover
who'd never lose the moon for stars. 

The problem though... I'm not the moon;
not in anybody's sky.

I'm not even a star, 
I only fade into the night.

Beautiful yearning. The open & unconditional acceptance is so rare & something everyone wants. Especially when one is depressed, it's all the heart seeks. Well penned!

Hey Chelsea.. your poem eloquently captures the universal desire for love, acceptance, and connection, while also acknowledging the inherent vulnerability and uncertainty that comes with it. The sincerity of emotion and the evocative imagery make it a touching and relatable piece.
