I Am The Moon

I am the moon chasing the sun I am the stars hiding in your light I am the crack in concrete walls I am the love a poet hides from sight I keep my name in my mouth Like a stone I can’t confess I wear the shape of your shadow And call it rest I am the moon caught in orbit I am the night that chases sunset I am the bow that Cupid strung I am the bell never to be rung I am the moon I am the moon I am the one you never knew I am the moon I am the moon The part of me I gave to you I am the moon ever secret I am the blush spreading unbidden I am the question, the regret I am the only thing kept hidden I fold my face in the dark When your hand gets close to mine Still I turn and turn and turn Just to fall back into line I am the moon caught in orbit I am the night that chases sunset I am the bow that Cupid strung I am the bell never to be rung I am the moon I am the moon I am the one you never knew I am the moon I am the moon The part of me I gave to you If I stayed, would it hurt less? If I ran, would I still glow? I kept the ache in a small box So nobody would know I am the moon, and I am sorry For the way I disappear For every love I held too softly For every word I left right here I am the moon I am the moon I am the one you never knew I am the moon I am the moon The part of me I gave to you I am the moon I am the moon And I’m still shining through And I'm still shining through...
