Her name is Chandney In Punjabi it means the Moon The thing about the moon is It's not always appreciated as much as it should be
The Sun steals all the glory The Moon merely awaits its time To come and reflect on the days the Sun has left behind
The Moon picks up the pieces.
Chandney is my best friend for a time she was my only friend The only person I would call a friend Not because I'd known her for so long But because of all the things she'd done
Like coming to my door everyday after school when I'd dropped out and wasn't leaving the house, tellin me about her day through the intercom when she was young and had the time to do that
The Moon kept me in touch with the world of the Sun, gave me a little bit of light left over in the days when I saw none
And that's something that I will never forget
Like the first time I saw the moon cry This moon is strong, this moon has pride That hurt me inside And every time since when I've seen a sad face etched on your surface
I've cried with you, side by side As you were Beside yourself Day I realised that love comes In many different forms Cause I'd go above and beyond anything I could ever do for myself To reach out to you, lift you up make you Smile, offer help
As long as I'm around I want you to know That the Moon is never truly alone You have a sky full of stars to keep you company Consider the closest one to You as Me
We've shared some memorable nights You and I From first sleep overs To gettin waved for the first time
Unlike so many The Moon doesn't change with the tides Loyal friend to this lunatic The Moon changes the tides
When I was left alone Crying night after night The Moon watched over me The Moon kept me company Even in silence when I didn't want to speak
The Moon was there
The constant silver lining Reminding me that a new day was gonna come And I'd see the dark times through Moon by my side goin through the dark times too
We met as kids And together we grew I believe life for me is like Those late night car journies I'm Lucky, It's True
That No matter where you go When you look out the window The Moon is always with you
I've come to realise that a lot of my poetry falls on the sad end of the spectrum particularly when its to do with my own dilemmas. When I write about the people who I care for in life I do notice a difference. It's definitely more upbeat. It's good to show appreciation to those we care for in life, all too often these people are taken forgranted. If I've written about you it definitely means that you've made an impression on me in life and if I haven't there's a good chance I just haven't got around to it yet :P
