I asked her, why?
Why she couldn't hold my gaze
Despite the indescribable connection we feel for one another.
And she told me
That we were like two sides of the moon
Always longing, but never meant to even see each other.
And nothing good would come from the fight to understand
The fight to see one another.
The fight to stay alive as two halves of each other.
For we do not complete us
We love so deeply we swallow ourselves whole
Trying so desperately to have more of what we cannot have.
We are two polarities
And we cannot co-exist together
Not like this.
I bid her farewell
Leaving her only in my thoughts and in the sky
That I often see her in.
The moon never seemed so dark as it rushed to four quarters
Of what it used to be.
