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.
