She Can Eclipse The Sun
To me she means so much more.
People say she’s strong because;
She glows on her own, although sometimes
Every one needs others influence to reflect.
Nevertheless, when she needs to,
She can eclipse the sun.
But to me she means so much more
The moon was someone that was always there.
When we wake up crying on those cold lonely nights,
She is there when the rest of the world sleeps.
The moon was there to help us remember there are greater things out there,
As she continues to orbit us, lonely herself.
But to me she means so much more.
She keeps going, taking in other’s pain and fears.
She listens, glowing with her own misfortune,
But seldom will she speak of what hurts her.
She glows brightest the more pain she feels.
Until she’s on the brink. Then someone asks
“Are you okay?”
And she’ll crumble.
She means so much to me,
Because she is the only constant in an impossible life.
Everyone sees her surface,
But only few can touch her, or see past it.
Still she manages to pull oceans.
And in fact she can eclipse the sun.”
