controlling

The never ending relationship of the moon and the sea is complicated perhaps worse than Romeo and Juliet What if after millions of years, mornings and nights, the sea decides to tell the moon that she doesn't want to be controlled by him anymore Becuase he makes her tides into an uncontrollable disaster and she is litteraly a sea of emotions with screaming waves and murmuring ripples And she looks up and cries to the moon to stop overpowering her because she is tired of the recklessness But the moon replies that she is nothing without him And he'll either forever control her for eternity or leave her forever, dead, immobile, with no beating heart which is her tide.

Notes

I originally wrote this based on the fact that a teacher was trying to explain to us that we can't let other people control our emotions and mood. But I thought that was uderly ridiculous and impossible. People is all we have. Without those people,  we are often nothing. Then when I was typing this, I thought of an abusive relationship.  The moon is overpowering the sea, even though she is much more grand than the moon. The moon makes her feel reckless, and tells her she is nothing without him. He'll go on controlling her because she thinks without him she is nothing. When truly, the moon is nothing without her. Because everyone visits the sea, but how often does someone go to the moon?
