Love Poem: My Moon

My Moon

As I look in the night sky
I see the moonlight streaming down
But it hasn't always been this way.
Moonlight, you left me
And you took a part of me with you
That I never knew I had.
That part was love.
I had my heart set around you
Until you left.
You left my world dark.
When night came, the shadows closed around me
Because my moonlight was gone.
When you left me,
High and dry,
I forgot how to love,
And learned more and more how to hate.
But one fine day,
You chose to come back.
After what seemed to be forever,
But in reality was only a month or so,
You returned.
It lasted a week.
You, my moonlight, kept me safe
For only a week.
But now I guess it's time
For you to go.
You don't have to leave on your own anymore
Because I'm kicking you out.
Filling me with false anxiety.
But will my world be forever darkened?
Will I ever be able to replace you...completely?
My moon...
My lost moon...
You've taken a part of me
And I want it back!
I want to love again!
And nothing you do
-Not the tricks you try to pull-
Can stop me.
My old, worn, ungrateful moon.
