THE MOON NEVER KNEW THE SUN

We see the silver orb adorning the sky,

From the sun\'s eye,

In his different phases,

Admire his warm radiance,

Who himself denies he shines,

Our love for the jewel of the twilight,

A mere reflection of the giant star\'s.

 

He shone through the love,

The sun beamed down on him,

She never asked for him,

To turn and join her,

Or even care to let him know,

About her undying love for him,

Love of a star; untold,

Another mystery that will remain unknown,

Among the galaxies.

 

She just does what she had to,

For what would happen if they came together?

An eclipse, 

A tragedy so disastrous,

Catastrophic enough to swallow her reason to live; shine.

 

But does the sun know;

The moon never leaves the sky,

Even when the darkness is swallowed up,

Even when it was its time to leave?
