I Thought the Moon was Out

I thought the moon was out,

so I called it by your name

and never did I have a doubt

that you would do the same.

But, in fact, it was a street light

merely mocking at my longing,

laughing with a searing bite

at my attempted fawning.

I just wanted you to see me,

for you to feel my flesh,

but through this fog you cannot see

and I am such a mess.

So, I tossed and turned around my bed

and hid beneath my sheets.

I'd wrap myself in you instead

if only I could reach.
