Emotion Evades The Moon, So Why Can't It Evade Me?

Staring at the night, begging for a fight

I want to get rid of this feeling, the one that causes the reeling

So dizzy, so hurt, I want to feel the grains of dirt

I want something to knock me down, take my breath and spin me round

So I won't see how far I've fallen, to see how long I've been crawlin'

Moon up there, don't give me that knowing stare

Lonely up in the sky, can you take me with you and make me high?

Whisk me up into the dark, let my heart grow stark

Illuminate the hole in my chest, where the love did rest

I crave to kick out those stars up above.  How they shine with love

They light up the sky with hope while down here I mope

How many times have I wished upon them, my mind so dim?

Wishing to see him, either of them

To bring someone in to hold me, set me free

How many times have I been cast into hoping, when instead they are eloping

With my dreams and leaving me to what seems

Like the happy ending I crave, oh how now I rave

Staring at the night, I'm begging for a fight

I want to get rid of this feeling, the one that causes the reeling

So dizzy, so hurt, I want to feel the grains of dirt

I want something to knock me down, take my breath and spin me round

So I won't see how far I've fallen, to see how long I've been crawlin'

Towards those dreams and towards that love, now I deem

The only true one here is the moon, cast alone it never does swoon

All by itself, stone cold and it's heart cast on a shelf

How I wish I could do the same.

Very clever; I liked how you repeated the first 5 lines at the end. It helped to emphasize her feelings, and made the poem better. The title also suited the poem well. Good work.
