Eclipse

Your embrace still lingers on my skin

Your caress remains embedded 

upon my heart

I can still feel you near

Your scent still fills my soul

Your whispers linger in my ear

My tears wet this page

The salt stings my obvious wounds

I won’t let you see my face

but how I am a fool and turn from you loving embrace

Like a flower full of thorns I protect my delicate side

I am ashamed and I cry

You can’t get past my barrier

I won’t look you in the eye

You are the sun and I am the moon

Who is to blame

Like two ships passing in the night

Our timing just not the same

You say I can make you fly

When you’re with me you soar

Love lifting you to heaven

where you’ve never been before

how I love the warming of the suns rays

scattering winters shadows

when spring comes a daunting

I can barely breathe

when you tell me that you love me

it overwhelms my sleeping mind

cause when you touch me

I fall to pieces every time

what am I to do for I am the moon

I alone eclipse in my shame

and you are the sun

the one who deserves acclaim

but when dawn greets us with a kiss

horizons joining our separate worlds

now no longer in just black and white

crimson aurora for you are the day

and velvet cobalt for I am the night
