☾
WHAT ARE YOU?
Moonflower.
"THE ONLY WITNESS IS TO BE THE MOON AND ME."
☾
You come alive
When dusk approaches
& The sun's out the
Sky.
As you said, the
Only witness to your
Boundlessness
Is to be the Moon
And me.
For
We are your
Shelter. You use
Our darkness as
Your shield.
You're a moonchild
Trapped in an endless
Masquerade party.
You claim that your
Many faces keep you
Company, but you are
Breaking apart.
Unstable.
In the Sunless City
You let false perfection
Mold onto your skin.
In the absence of
Light, everything
Is clear to me.
I can find the
Real you when I keep
My eyes closed,
Not wide open.
All you are
Cannot be seen,
Only felt.
But many do not
Understand that.
Their believe is
Weak, and what
They can see is
All they can swallow.
They ridicule us,
But are they right
To do so?
Is that reality?
And does that all
Matter when every
Second, every hour
Ends up at this
Moment?
Daydreams and
Nightmares have
No differentiation
With you.
For the euphoria
We breathe in
So easily corrupts
Our perception.
Does this feeling
Feel so right that
All the rest can
Be labelled as
Wrong?
Is it worth giving
Up everything we've
Ever known.
Is it worth that much?
Although you say
Yes, you hide your face
Behind your mask.
Lies.
You're scared.
But you're also
Scared of missing
Opportunities.
Show me your true
Face for it holds
The answers I seek.
Do not hide it from me.
Everyone may
See a disgrace,
But I won't.
My love is impartial.
It is selfish, though
Its sacrifices are
Great.
But most of all,
My love is blind
In the darkness of
This night.
It is silent. It
Requires no words.
It doesn't speak.
It's LOYAL.
Open your heart
So my love can touch
It. Let it guide you
For that is how
You will find the
Real me.
But if when you
Find me & I reveal
Myself to you, you
Cannot give me
All of you.
You can't offer me
Your pure devotion
And dedication,
Go.
I set you free
To find the person
Who makes you
Complete.
Because after all this
Time,
It was never me.
