I'm very new at this, but I want to see if anyone understands what I'm saying here, and if anyone can relate.  Criticism would be appreciated.


Her Moonlit Eyes

If I could reach high into the starry night,
I’d kill the Moon to darken it’s light.

The Moon’s infecting glow
Is the blood that would flow
Through my hands ‘til I know
That my feelings I’ll not show.
The waves would not roll; the trees would not sway.
The screams of the Moon may, just may,
Distract me from feeling this terrible way,
And I may keep my restraint for one more day.

If I could reach high into the starry night,
I’d kill the Moon to darken it’s light.

The Moon would plead and fight in vain
As I smile in it’s agony to conceal my pain.
With the Moon now motionless, lifeless and slain,
My tongue would not be lured ever again.
My mouth would not say what my heart would reveal.
My love for her I may want to conceal.
The timing’s not right, though the feeling is real.
Her lips I may steal; my lips I can’t seal.

If I could reach high into the starry night,
I’d kill the Moon to darken it’s light.

So many times have I tried to hold back
And so would have done if just myself and the Black.
But if there is a wall that Love tries to crack,
With her Moonlit Eyes, there’s no more to lack.
It’s that pleasure for which I weep
When those Moonlit Eyes pierce me deep;
And it’s a pain that I’ll continue to keep
‘Til I make the Moon forever sleep.

Oh, this is so sad. Whatever can have made you feel this way? You sound so young. Don,t forget, there is always hope. Maggie. Welcome to the forum. Hugs

Well, I was pretty young at the time, but I think that was what actually made me feel that way.  Perspectives can change when the sun goes down, and I didn't want to feel that way about the girl I was referring to.  But what made it worse was not knowing what to do with those feelings due to lack of experience.  However, I wonder how I would handle it if the situation ever came up again...
