The Moon

He was like the moon

beautiful

Untouchable

He was there at night

never to touch

His love for me like the ocean

It crashed over me

Drowning me

Leaving me breathless

He left me cold

I should have known better

For the moon waxes and wanes

And the oceans tides never last for long

The Sun

He was like the sun

beautiful

unyielding

constant

His love for me like fire

It consumed me

burned me

warming from the bleak moon

He left me blazing

I should have known better

For the sun will soon die out

And fires burn out

I am left numb

I craze the moon

And I long for the sun
