Let me be your moonlight <br />When your sun nods off to sleep <br />Let me be the love <br />You in secret get to keep <br />Don't make me throw it away <br />And stage an anger I don't feel <br />Let my fires rage on <br />Because for me that's what's real <br />The tears keep coming <br />But I won't let them go <br />I force them back til darkness <br />So they may seep into shadows <br />I wish to make you happy <br />In anyway I can <br />But doing that leaves me standing here <br />A doe-eyed child, bleeding heart in my hand <br />If it meant that you'd be mine <br />I would cry you a river <br />If it meant I'd get to touch you <br />I'd be the second, forever <br />But you only want me <br />In this way not the other <br />Though time after time I plead of you <br />Just let me be the love you cover<br /><br />Jade Baumgardner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mistress-mistress/
