What Happens When the Moon Falls In Love With the Sun

I see him across the orbit, Creating time in mesmerizing circles, Always so far from me Always so near. We dance. A lonely dance— A tormenting dance, Where we can never touch Nor; ever be apart. The universe gave us this gift, Intertwining our souls for an eternity. The universe gave us this curse, Extending the longing over lifetimes. He pulls and I follow. He spins, and I become dizzy— Confused by his nonchalance. If he loves me, why are we not closer? If he doesn’t, why is he still here? Still, I follow… My cold facade revolving around his light, Hiding from the universe, A solemn expression dug deep in my surface. He says we are alike, But I know enough to know that it’s our differences that make us colorful. His anger fuels, It’s become a self-sustaining energy, And I cringe thinking of his rage in the future, Who will his words hurt in the future? He burns, And I die. Empty and lifeless. Just let me die, And free me from this course. He doesn’t know what love is.
