Aim for the moon - Retrieve the stars

by Unseen Exposure   Feb 13, 2005



You are vicious my dear, you are vicious
And you come at the hardest of times
Screaming with insecure notions
With a voice that I can't tune out
Am I here?
Are we there?
Did we hit the moon, or reach the stars?

You are careless my love, you are careless
And you hit with the hardest of words
Implying the reasons and facts
With a voice that I refuse to tune out
Am I here?
Are we there?
Did we hit the moon, or reach the stars?

Well you didn't awake with me
We missed the moon by a long shot
The stars shot our aim
You're not here
But I am
Did we hit the moon, or reach the stars?

No
No, my dear
We didn't, We couldn't

Would you come if I called for you?
Would you answer?
Answer me
Answer me, please

Hold my hand -
And we'll make it
We'll make it to the moon; We'll reach the stars.

You're not here, I'm not there
And the moon's so far between
So reach with me
Even if we miss
We've still got the stars.

^ Spur of the moment type thing. Not so sure what it is.

    I completly admired it. I love the whole symbolism, "aim for the moon-retrieve the stars" that's just so beautifully written. And your repetition technique was perfectly used. i loved how you created the notion of aiming for something so lovely but not able to reach it, yet at the end having a little something beautiful to hold on to together. Lovely job
