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.
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?
