Man in The Moon

Your heart, the moon

Far away and cold.

Eclipsed by pain

From wounds deep and old

I can never live inside.

Shrouded in hurt,

your light sometimes shines through,

Flickering, fleeting glimpses of you.

Unattainable, distant and so beautiful to me

But I know, you’re the man in the moon.

My heart the sea, reflects your every move

My ebb and tide conform to follow you.

Unfathomed depths longing for your light.

Then like the moon, you fade into the night,

Left in the dark, heartsick, too tired to fight.

I’m broken, shattered, lost and all alone,

But your light’s not mine,

you’re the man in the moon

And the man in the moon doesn’t feel

So he never tries,

And the man in the moon doesn’t care

So he never cries.

Does he know he’s lonely

Is that why he’s blue?

Silver beams, like tears falling down.

Caress my face

as they stream t’wards the ground

And for one minute, one second,

I pretend that you love me.

But you never will

You’re the man in the moon.
