Like the dawn creeping in through the darkness A forest taking over abandoned ruins You overwhelmed my world without a conquest Promising me the sun, the stars and the moon Under the bright gaze of your rising sun my misty dew-like innocence evaporated You treated me like a prized possession I didn't realize I was being manipulated Soon dark moods washed over your glitter and the mask you wore that held it in place was replaced by a cruelty that was so bitter that I could no longer tolerate the taste There were so many years that I blamed myself that it had to be my responsibility While you blamed me and anyone else no recognition , no accountability I wore your wrath like clothing ,ill-fitting mirroring back what you wanted to see While you watched the slow disintegration of the dimming light left in me Now when I see the sun and the moon I stop and it reminds me of you out at the same time in the mid-afternoon and I can't help but see the two faces I viewed

The Sun and the Moon
Like the dawn creeping in through the darkness A forest taking over abandoned ruins You overwhelmed my world without a conquest Promising me the sun, the stars and the moon Under the bright gaze of your rising sun my misty dew-like innocence evaporated You treated me like a prized possession I didn't realize I was being manipulated Soon dark moods washed over your glitter and the mask you wore that held it in place was replaced by a cruelty that was so bitter that I could no longer tolerate the taste There were so many years that I blamed myself that it had to be my responsibility While you blamed me and anyone else no recognition , no accountability I wore your wrath like clothing ,ill-fitting mirroring back what you wanted to see While you watched the slow disintegration of the dimming light left in me Now when I see the sun and the moon I stop and it reminds me of you out at the same time in the mid-afternoon and I can't help but see the two faces I viewed
When you fall in love with someone and didn't even know who they really were until it is too late and the damage is done, this is for you.
