The moon is there and she is strong She taunts the ocean night after night It makes waves that struggle to touch her, as I do. The sea's Froth forming futile fingers that crumble The moon is there and she is strong You wish to need no one as she needs no one, has never reached out But many a time before she has been sought out The ocean mourns her. When she goes missing from the night sky. Masochistic in its desire for her But desiring her none the less No longer a mirror without her No longer a passionate body No longer full of life But ever reaching The moon is there and she is strong Her new face does not remember She is ever forgetful as you wish to be. still that twinge of what is missing will not let you It drowns everything you have come to be. Like you were caught in a Tsunami. The closest the ocean will ever come to her. She does not reach out You unfold your arms and see her light through outstretched fingers The ocean flails. It wants to touch her First. and Last. You both will fail Neither will reclaim what they lost in her The moon is there and she is strong She does not reach out She holds your missing piece in her palm.

Race to the Moon
The moon is there and she is strong She taunts the ocean night after night It makes waves that struggle to touch her, as I do. The sea's Froth forming futile fingers that crumble The moon is there and she is strong You wish to need no one as she needs no one, has never reached out But many a time before she has been sought out The ocean mourns her. When she goes missing from the night sky. Masochistic in its desire for her But desiring her none the less No longer a mirror without her No longer a passionate body No longer full of life But ever reaching The moon is there and she is strong Her new face does not remember She is ever forgetful as you wish to be. still that twinge of what is missing will not let you It drowns everything you have come to be. Like you were caught in a Tsunami. The closest the ocean will ever come to her. She does not reach out You unfold your arms and see her light through outstretched fingers The ocean flails. It wants to touch her First. and Last. You both will fail Neither will reclaim what they lost in her The moon is there and she is strong She does not reach out She holds your missing piece in her palm.
