Moon Enlightenment

Watching Her through the window

I catch sight of my reflection 

My cheeks seem to sparkle 

The Moon’s gentle light, transforming the trails of my tears  

Melancholy Grief 

So much of myself lost 

Given and taken away 

The silver rivulets tracing cracks I’m trying to repair 

Trying to feel worthy 

I am not a throw away vessel to be used and emptied 

This was (is) my failure

Her light reflects on my face, the idea I am wearing her magic, the only love that will protect me 

Is my own
