The Sun Is Dark the Moon Is Bright

The sun is dark the moon is bright.
I walk in the shadow of the sunlight.
My mind is blank but my thoughts are plenty.
Of a world so sad so empty.
And still I walk in the bright moonlight.
You seem a mirage something I can’t touch.
I am forever getting nearer to you but never reach.
If the sea would drown me in its wake.
I am sure you would save me for our loves sake.
The water so cold and warm so blue.
I dream of the heat of love from you.
I wake from my dreams they make me alive.
Death has been my waking twice in my life.
How much peace does a person need?
How much energy is it to breath?
It’s a chill wind that warms my soul.
But something in my psyche makes me feel cold.
Warm hands that caress me.
Sharpened fingernails make me bleed.
My back is full of your scratches.
From the love we concede in a bed of lies.
We are in no surprise of our disguise.
To not be what we are. But to be what we must.
This isn’t real love soon it will turn to dust.
Theres is never true longing in unpassionate lust.
We part our ways the sun it shines.
Our path is brighter by the moonlight
The crossroad looms as we leave the room.
Never to touch never to kiss
We know it would one day come.
it was something we could not miss.
Just for a moment we try to resist.
But we both know we have lost it.
Love is strange it can be black and white.
Passion is red when we lie in the bed.
But time is time and moments count,
It makes sense to not try to work it out.
We never look back that is the right way.
Tomorrow for us both is the start of a new day.
