It starts off full and swelling
bursting at the seams
as if it will engulf the world in its beauty
Slowly, ever so slowly
It begins to disappear
And shadow creeps in
I secretly prayed for it to stay
To embrace me in its warmth
My prayers fall flat on the cold ground
It continues to fade.
Doing what it usually does
I get enraged
“How dare you leave me in my time of need!”
“You run behind the shadows as I break down”
I needed you to be my constant
Of course, you made no promise to stay
Now you are in half
Mirroring my emotions
Should I be joyous that a piece of it still lingers
Or should I grieve that I’m going to be left all alone in the dark
I’m always in the dark
There is a quarter left
I am prepared for you to go once again
Locking away my emotions
Knowing you will return brings no relief
I need you now
My confessor, my confidant, my silent serenity
A whispered bye floats on the wind
Brimming tears retract
I will wait for the fullness of you
Until then I am empty.
A good write! I loved your moon analogy. “)
Thank you, Me;))
When we’re linked to the moon’s tides…it can get overwhelming. I’m a full-on moon child myself, I get it
Thank you, Willow;))
I loved how visual this was, but also in a very subtle way. I could see the sort of waxing and waning pattern but at the same time we weren’t talking about a literal moon, so it was a weird kind of take this very visual thing and make it into a feeling. And then it’s all wrapped up in really beautiful language.
Thank you, Green;))
The other morning, I was in a very sexual dream. it was intense! And then my alarm went off and scared the absolute hell outta me. Talk about a rip-off!
Your words reminded me of my own misfortune. LOL
I hope that there is success from your dilemma soon!
I was looking out the window at the moon and my mind just went with it. Thank you, Styxian ;))
An excellent metaphorical take, Fia. Love it.
Thank you, Tim;))
