Silent Moon

Moon, are you awake tonight?

I need someone who won’t judge me right.

The world is loud, I’m too full inside,

With things I can’t say, no place to hide.

I carry so much, can you see?

The smile I wear’s a mask for me.

But here in your glow, I let it fall,

Drop my guard , I give you all.

Do you ever get tired of rising?

‘Cause I’m tired of always hiding.

Tired of being strong, holding on tight,

While I quietly drown in the night.

Some days I don’t recognize,

This body moving through the skies.

A soul whispering for peace and rest,

In a world that never lets me rest.

I’ve been hurt, left, misunderstood,

Cried alone where no one could.

But here with you, I feel seen,

You stay with me, silent and serene.

Do you ever get tired of rising?

‘Cause I’m tired of always hiding.

Tired of being strong, holding on tight,

While I quietly drown in the night.

So tonight, take some of this pain,

Hold it softly, ‘til I’m whole again.

And if you can, tell the stars above,

I’m still trying, still full of love.

Do you ever get tired of rising?

‘Cause I’m tired of always hiding.

Tired of being strong, holding on tight,

While I quietly drown in the night.

Silent moon, just stay awhile…

Hold my heart with your gentle smile.
