Moon

The moon casts an awful shadow

It snarls up the sky

Covers the lie

And reveals

A single drop

Of tears

Which land gently upon our cheeks

As subtle as breathing 

We are all we have now 

It makes our heat thump in our chest

We are not ready for this world 

We have carved off so much flesh

There is no room for pity

Or grieving 

All the signs 

We should have left

Have been erased

Like a bad dream 

It is just you and me

I whisper to Alice

As we prepare for dreaming

How we wish the moon

Would scoop us up

Make us one of her children

But we are lost

Flitting through thoughts

And adventures

Don't give up she says

And I cling to those words

I will never give up as long

As she is with me.
