Moon, Stay with Me!

Oh moon, quiet keeper of my unsaid ache,
You have seen me love, you have seen me break.
One beloved turned away, left love in shadowed hue, Still, I look to you,
Will you stay when others withdrew?

Your light once held me when nights felt long,
Now I ask only for a whisper, soft and strong.
Moon, not my ending, but my witness be,
Hold this tender heart, still learning to be free.

You know the bruise of being broken more than once, The fear of falling again, the weight of what love once was.
So shine not to take me, but to let me rest,
To remind me that even shattered hearts can mend.

Oh moon, speak peace, not in grand replies,
But in your steady glow that never denies.
Stay with me tonight, till the darkness thins,
Till I remember, love can begin again within.
