Come Closer

Do I scare you, moon in the sky?
hiding behind grey clouds, shrouded in black,
come closer, dear, I feel your depart while I close my eyes
terrorized by my dismal past.
Allow me, please, to lay a kiss upon your cheek
my love for you is of the sweetest desire
and to hold you is the future I seek
so come closer my beautiful moon, lift me higher.
The stars dance just out of my reach
singing the songs I hum
I know I'm despicable, but listen to the words I speak,
"love you I always have, for you my heart thrums."
Come closer if you dare
give me a shoulder to cry on
I've grown so weak, I crave your care
and I've been cold for oh so long.
Do you catch each tear that falls
though you remain hidden from me
my destiny looms within your call
come closer, come closer, do you feel my need?
Like a blooming rose, your stars come out
showing me you hear my pleas
"my loving moon, I shall be honorably devout
as long as you promise to love me."
Come closer,
we can escape from this life.
Come closer,
I'll love you for the eternity of night.
Come closer,
so I can kiss your blushing cheek.
Come closer,
so my tears can no longer streak.
