The moon chases the sun
Unceasing and undying
Glowing from the beauty
Of the distant sun

Winter chases summer
Year after year
It's loving touch
Melting the built up ice

The desert misses rain
Hanging on every word
As the clouds whisper
Relishing memories of
Raindrops gentle caress


I will chase you
Like the moon chases the sun
Glowing
From the reflection of your beauty

I will chase you
Like winter chases summer
Your loving touch
Melting my built up ice

I miss you
Like the dessert misses rain
Hanging on your every word
Relishing the memories
Of your gentle touch

I need you like plants need sunlight and oxygen

*i need you

You didn’t teach me
How to succeed without ambition
How to live without approval
How to survive in this condition
How to hold my head up high
How to run when I could barely walk
How to value the me others hate
How to survive all the painful talk.

You didn’t teach me
How to keep my heart healthy and whole
How to tell the truth hidden in lies
How to find the spark inside my soul
How to be proud listening to taunts
How to look upon hatred as sickness
How to sing songs of praise of others
How to selflessly, and lovingly bear witness.

You didn’t teach me
How to value the people who love me as me
How to enjoy people of a different color
How to appreciate all the different nationalities
How to bounce back from the blows of life
How to learn from the work any that I do
How to love my life and cherish all of it,
Because loving me never came from you.

that cat came back again
i had almost forgotten about him
he scratched me up again
