The Lonely Moon

The city slept early tonight

Lights went off the empty streets.

I looked at the lonely Moon

He looked back, and whispered to me 

''Unlike the Sun,

I'm too cold for anyone to like me

I fade away every month,

then try to survive again.

I hide myself behind every cloud that passes by

Trying to keep my nakedness away from sight.

I'm too weak to give warmth

I'm too weak to shine.''

I wondered how he didn't know

How beautiful he was

And how many people

Spend nights long

Enjoying his presence.

I wanted to tell him it all

But as soon as he spit his words out

He hid himself in a tiny corner of the galaxy

And I never saw him, since then.
