Surface of the Moon
by: Robert Zimmerman

Living my life
All alone
In the light
Of my own eyes.
Sitting in the
Shadows and
Thinking of how
I could best
Explain me to you.

I can't say
Anything when
I'm around you.
Sumbling through
Conversation -
I know I love you.

So far away in
My mind,
But so close
In truth.
How can I be
Out on the moon
When I know you're
Near me?

I'm so distant
As a way to protect
Myself from pain.
But why am I
So afraid
Of what you might do
When I know
I want what's
Best for you?

Bittersweet is the
Taste of love.
I know I must let
You decide
But I want you
To love me
The way
I love you.
