Remember the Moon

There is no worse feeling

Than nothing at all.

It's scary,

It's dark,

and it's lonely.

 

And it's kind of like the night.

 

Kind of like I am the moon.

And I am suspended above everyone else,

Flying high above in the risers, looking down at the actors on the stage,

On the people in the town

Conversing, falling in love, having fun, simply being

And I am up here

And I am alone.

I am the light to guide everyone's night

But they still don't see me.

I am at least one of two constants in their lives

And they still forget that I am here.

I will fall, I will rise again, and I will continue this cycle

I will swallow my feelings because

I have to

Because the town will turn to shambles if I don't.

I am not sure if I am comfortable with being this constant for everyone

I do not know if this something I should be okay with

If I should be okay with being absolutely nothing but

Something that is there.

I have nobody, but I am still there.

I am still here, don't you remember me?

 

Why won't you remember me?
