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.
