Luna

I stare at the sky in longing

How long do I have to wait till morning?

The bright sunlight that brings

The speculation and broken wings

I’m lying to myself again

I cannot stand all the loose ends

The light is too blinding for my mind

I have too many secrets to hide

The truth is hard to swallow

Wherever she goes, I will follow

When the sun chases her away, I pray

That she will overcome him one day

Her silver glow is dazzling

But underneath, she is shattering

The stars hold her up in the sky

As it gets harder and harder for her to fly

She watches everything unfold

Her life is quite a wonder to behold

My dark thoughts that turned to actions

Were absorbed by her as pain in fractions

When the whole world seemed to turn their back

She was there as it went back to black

When my tears fell on an empty pillow

She filled my heart which was once hollow

She saw me fall to pieces, she saw me tear myself apart

She saw me repaint myself like art

She saw me die alone in the dark

She saw me struggle to relight the spark

So now that she is sobbing, her silver tears come falling down

I’ll catch them all in my black gown

When there is no one to listen to her

I will fight for her; I will conquer

For she was the only one who listened

When the blood on my heart glistened

She was the only one who understood

Why I stained the ground where he stood

And when she talks to me, I am quiet

I drink her poison, soaking every droplet

I trust her and she trusts me

So like a bird, I set her free

She is in a better place now

Where the stars aren’t made of empty vows

She smiles down from the clouds

When I’m the only one around

At night I scan the skies

And I can see her eyes

Winking from miles away

“Come follow me; we can play”

Oh, how I miss her

The days are empty; it’s all a blur

I was the only one who knew she wanted to shine like a star

She was scared to come close, so she gazed from afar

Her brilliant face is now jagged

Her once soft voice is now ragged

I can barely find her in her cage

You murdered her in your fiery rage

You might as well kill me with your brutal ways

Don’t you understand there’s nothing left to save?

The diamonds you give me cannot replace

The surface that I used to trace

Do you not realize?

I loved her.
