Love Poem: As the Moon Shines

As the Moon Shines

As the moon shines through the window in this room that I’m at
I try to think of things to write about, maybe this or that
The warmth of the sheets cools my body as I sit here,
Thinking of what to write, what’s stopping me, is it fear?
Fear that you will never feel the same again and leave me defenseless
Fear that I may never be able to love anyone again and feel weakness
The chills that go through my back as your voice appears to me again
The scent of your body and the touch of your lips, love is what I gain
I feel you and need you every second of my life,
But I know I cant have you, that I need to roll the dice,
As if this was a game, If I get one, I win.
But sweety, With you, my thoughts are all like sin
Dreaming of you, walking on the beach as we hear the waves crash,
Looking at you desperately wanting every inch of you as if you were a rash
Something on me that I cannot help, but to leave it, overtaking every part of my 
body,
Come to me as I sit here and wait by the window with the moon shining, as I 
have nobody.

Come to me…
