Moonlight

I loved you.

With every breath, every step, and every beat of my heart,

I loved you.

You were the moon, and I was the sea,

but you never saw the waves you caused.

Each night, I swelled, desperately seeking your attention

And I quickly fell, crashing from your rejection

As I watched you fade over the horizon.

But none of that mattered to me

Because you were the moon, and I was the sea

Oh, how I love you, still.

This is so powerful. I could almost feel your pain, your agony. I am perversely drawn to poems that include the moon. I have quite a few here that I posted.

Take care - Dave

I'm glad I was successful in setting the tone correctly. I also write about the moon frequently! Thank you.

[Dave]

My pleasure.

Take care - Dave

So very beautiful but some live is not meant to be - sometimes rejection is Gods protection and the others loss- all part of the journey - but I wish your heart the happiness it deserves just as the moon and sea become one- beautiful words🌹
