"The Moon"


Clenching this pillow between my claws Drowning the cloth in sorrows Gripping so tightly I can't let go Don't want to see what's in tomorrow Painfully weep, letting tears stain As a meloncholy melody follows Wrapped in sheets, marked of you I felt betrayed and once again used For you were never mine But under your spell I fell victim to Your aroma lingers in the dark As I lay so broken with my friend the moon Asleep to the whispers of the repeated offender Of the betrayal my heart ensues Strung along by deceit, beauty of tall tales A fabled story my mind rapidly drew So lost in the moment, the heat of passion Unaware of simply being your muse It won't be long before tragedy Swallows me whole Before I go mad on thoughts of you What proceeds is pure injustice Something I was never taught through How could something so beautiful be so tragic Like me... loving you? -Estevez 1/3/2016
