The Moon

The Moon

A Poem by butterfly

I dont want to be insane
so obsessed I forget my own name
i see now we are the doomed love
still i think of us
i must be stronger if its only a lustful passion
what does love feel like
is it sad I don't know
how did I get so damned i lost my soul
fantasy and memory merges
i can still feel his lips on my skin
seared in
like cigarette burns
i can still feel my tongue tangled in his
locked lips in an endless kiss
it was a month ago 
he got sick
now he went to new mexico
he is truly not in to me
didn't even reply to my text
we could instantly connect
and still its so hard to get
love or lust whatever it is
so wicked
we know what we must do
yet he comes back
and i let him in
i try to lock him out
he breaks it all down
now he is gone
so i should just it all go with his sun
for I am the moon
i am my own entity
I am her child
forever free and wild
even though its so lonely
this life is mine
you got to be pretty cool for me to give up my own name
even if there is a diamond ring
i am an angel thing
a lot of the singles are
thats why so many married come to us from the dark
we light the way
we are like the moon
stars that still shine even in the day
but even in the sky without the sun can be a lonely place
i just want to let go 
float up to where i need to be and shine
the moon is single all on her own
free in the sky
just like this life
that is mine with the wings of a butterfly
