Waning

I have something that the stars do not 

I hold it in my mind, 

the sight of the night sky 

and the echoes of the silent brush 

I see god in your eyes 

The moon didn't say I love you back 

I say it every night through the bars of my window Maybe it's because I can't look directly at it 

I say I love you 

It echoes through the night sky, 

maybe nothing exists there 

The stars die and fade away 

To surrender to love is an act of self-destruction But the moon, 

the moon will remain 

I love you moon 

I will continue to say
