As the Moon
Glow
Seeping with sadness
Tonight I'm not comforted
By the sky
Drunken with stars
For my aching heart
Has finally broken
And I feel as lonely
As the moon
but you are the sun
and i am the moon
you brighten the day
and give every thing life
whilst i find myself
alone at nightt
Wilt
every breath he takes is poetry
and flowers grow from the words
he lays before me
and i wish to tend this garden
to let it bloom
but he has not given me water
so the flowers wither and die
and as do i
and he offers her rain
whilst i suffer drought
and she grows an orchard
whilst i stare at dirt
and she picks the fruit of his love
whilst i am left with nothing
bar a dwindling memory
of how i watched her trees grow tall
and her garden flourish
whilst my flowers wilted
and became the earth
Searching
one day
you're going to find someone
who makes you see beauty
in the ugliest parts of life
someone
who makes you find the light
in the darkest parts
of yourself
