The Fading Light

The night is long, the silence deep,
A solemn promise I couldn't keep.
I trace the rim of an empty cup,
Wishing the memories would finally stop.

They flood the room like a swollen river,
A bitter taste that only makes me shiver.
I search the clouds where you used to hide,
A perfect circle that stood by my side.

But the sky is black, a void of space,
And all I see now is a vacant place.
My small, sweet gravity, where has it gone?
Leaving my soul untethered till the cold, harsh dawn.

The tides within me have turned to storm,
No gentle pull to keep me warm.
My world spins wild, without a center true,
All because I lost the light that was you.

I was a fool to ever think I could roam,
When your single beacon was my only home.
I whisper your name into the pouring rain,
A fragile plea to ease this aching pain.

If you could just return, a glimmer, a curve,
To mend the orbit of this love I preserve.
I need that faithful, gentle, constant heat,
To make my broken, lonely life complete.

Be my moon again,
And let this dark path end.

Ask Me Once

Oh my sweet angel, Ask me if I love you, And if I would kiss you beneath the moonlight. But it's raining, dear; she's weeping. And to kiss is just a daisy Upon a grave's damp dirt. Ask me why I haven't left yet, And I'll whisper, The moon is so beautiful tonight. She sings just for you, And it'll be beautiful every night, Whether you hear her sing or not.

My moon

 I'm here, sitting alone and crying,  Wondering what went wrong. I'm here, thinking and thinking,  How much I miss her tone. It was beautiful, like music to my ears. When I'm writing this, my eyes full of tears. The rain keeps going, and the thunder too, Making me remember, the times that were fun, and bad too. I miss her so much it hurts,  Give me another chance, so you can be my moon.  I don't need them hundreds like Jupiter, lost in a distant, bright sea, I just need the gravity of your small moon, to set the tides inside of me. A single light, close enough to guide the dark path beneath my feet, Not a star that burns and then is gone, but a constant, faithful, gentle heat. I want you as my moon,  Please. Come back to me soon.

Hey you—

 Oh you—  the one I’ve been watching since the first day.  You who sits in silence  and prays with a pen.  I see you.  I hear you.  And I watch over you,  like you’ve always wanted. Hey you—  I know you can’t hear me yet.  Even if you do,  it gets lost in the static.  You, who I see every day—  breaking, losing, loathing every second.  I see you.  I see how you get up  and give your best every time.  You don’t see what I see—  the little wins  in which I have such pride. My dear you—  who runs away and hides  behind the very things you like to despise.  You who thinks life is a lie  but still tries to make meaning  of all these trials.  I see you.  I see you.  I see you every moment.  And I promise—  to your life,  I’ll remain a witness  till the very end. You—  the one I forgive  a thousand times a day.  I know you can...
