Waxing and Waning

My soul waxes and wanes with the moon But it is never truly full And when I see that glowing orb in the sky I wish that I could feel its pale light But I am always left in shadow I am only a reflection of a once full person Like the moon is reflection of the sun’s light On the other side of the world I mimic my old self every day In hopes that one day I will be that girl again My soul waxes and wanes with the moon But someday it will rise with the sun.
