(01.31.18/09:00 pm/ during the rare super blue blood moon)

Tonight, the world watches you with its’ naked eyes
And behind the telescopes and lenses, you shine.
You shine brighter than the city lights.
You reign like a queen in the night sky.
And the stars, your jewels, hail you with their lights.
From the endless dark canvas above, moon, you are admired.

I take in the poison from this death of me
And expel a cloud of smoke out of these dying lungs.
Thinking about why you are so out of reach,
Why are you so far from my grip?
If only I am as far from them as I am from you.
Maybe, they would never get to hurt me.

So, I pray that before the night ends,
Before you go,
I pray you’ll take me with you.
Out of reach and far from pain.
Out of reach and admired.
So please, take me with you and never back.
Never again.
