Jan 2015
She stared desolately at the wall
Tick tick ticking, the clock hand in a crawl
In a ball, in a fall, hitting the wall
She wondered how a heart could sustain this torment

How she flew over the moon
But wasn't met half way
That the stars she saw in his heart
Faded away like doused candles

She wondered why she let her heart beat to another's drum
Why she was filed under done and over
When she hungered ravenously for another touch
his hands caressing the surface of her skin

She was an addict
Snorting his scent in waves like *******
Injecting what she thought was his love into her veins
Smoking on the cheap cigarette love he lent her

She used to wondered why the moon stays away from the sun
Why the moon won't go to the one who illuminates it
past the facade of the light moon she saw the dark side of the moon
the realization of leaving him falling from the stars
