trapped in the darkness of the moon
blinded by the blanket of stars
wishing to finally be seen
by the sun and not trapped behind these bars

hoping one day he’ll notice my beauty
and free me from these shackles of sorrow
come stay by my side
for a million and one tomorrows

as I cast a glow on the night sky
I’m the one they’ve come to admire
my eyes filled with fireflies
now that I’m the fire of his desire

felt like I’ve been drowning all my life
and I’m finally coming up for fresh air
two opposite souls embracing one another
his love gentle and fair
