At night
she sleeps under the moon
like the moon
she is always found
far away from the earth,
dreaming.
Her body waits for the sun to rise
but her heart is content,
recharging in the night.
At night
she sleeps under the moon
its glow seeps through the gaps of her curtains
and slides across her pale skin.
A gentle handful of moonlight
caresses her cheeks and paints
her dark hair silver.
The moonlight floods her soul,
races through her bloodstream
but by morning
she knows nothing of its existence.
At night
she sleeps under the moon
like soulmates, they are eternally separated.
Once she is awake, the sun is up
whenever the moon glows,
she lies
asleep.
But still, the moon shines on,
basking her in its glorious light.
At night
she sleeps under the moon
for the moon loves her
without anything in return.
He will wait till she falls asleep
just to hold her heart
in his hands
even if she never understands.
