Oh, moon

an acrostic poem

Every now and then I fall apart. Oh moon,

comfort me how you comfort the mourners.

Let me bury my burning face

in the darkness of your shoulder. Oh moon,

please don't let them

see their constant go to pieces. Don't let them see how

every now and then I fall apart. Oh, moon.

    Truly beautiful! Although I understand your approach on this, I feel I must say that we all have the liberty to fall apart (definitely the resources and reasons to😉)and I don’t think we should be ashamed of it. Sharing emotions will always help and make things easier!

    Love how you’ve gone for the eclipse concept, and personified the sun Ava! “ Let me bury my burning face in the darkness of your shoulder.” is a great piece of imagery🤗
