Mar 2015
From the beginning of time she was kissed by the sunlight
But even the moon sought love from such an unexpected muse
For she beamed of life and beauty during the day
But haunted in the shadows
Playing with fate every chance she could get
How could the moon not find love
In the twisted angel, fallen from above
Intrigued by her angelic face
And the way her every touch was full of life
Planting sunflowers everywhere she goes
Her laugh danced with demons
Always testing the waters
But never taking a sip
Always such a tease
But the devil watched
Waiting patiently for a kiss by such a rose
He'd wrap her up and hear her call
For the sun couldn't protect her
It was past her time to go
The devil scooped her up and away he fled
Ready to cut the needle from the thread
The moon glimmered at the sight of her plea
Begging "please don't take me, please just leave me be"
That's when the moon granted her, her wish
Gave her a kiss right on her wrist
From then on she was thought to be a Moon Child
Dark hair and light eyes
Just like her soul that lived inside
Parallel to the dark love radiating from the moon
Fueled by the sun
Just like the Moon Child once was
For Misery had found the child, once held by the sun
Once filled with light and love
Sunflowers now tainted by ivy
How someone once filled with something so mighty
Could suddenly feel so tiny
So tell me little Moon Child,
*Will you take a chance with the devil?
