The Moon and the Sun Lied

The dark night fell The evening mist embraced my cold breast But your love always warmed me up How could you have had any doubts that I loved you? When I was in your bed I was king Out of it I became a romantically deprived fool seeking love like all idiots The moon and the sun cheered for me they told me you and I were eternal I believed them I felt in my marrow we would last forever Do I have to be bound naked, dragged on sharp rocks, have you watch my blood spill in the dirt and mix with my tears? Would that have been enough for you to know the depth of my love? Would it? But shortly thereafter, tigers came into our life and tore you from me the moon and the sun are ignoramuses I shouted! But you rejoiced in your freedom new blood new lovers new ways to make love new hearts to break Later, you had four kids that furthered changed you I railed at the moon and sun’s lies I told them I could have loved you better than anybody “It’s not our fault," the sun replied, "she chose others.” And so my life went, later I learned nothing remains the same everything changes and young skin once so proud weathers and wrinkles like all skin does The choices people make to explore greener pastures Have a payback burden For you it's your kids and wrinkles And for me it's that I still love you.
