I cry to the moon.

She stitches the stars
Into my scars,
Drinks the bloody tears
Bestowed upon by my war.

I owe her many lives,
For everytime she
mourned my grief.
For every time she
gave me peace
No matter how brief.

I'm fighting a war,
With my own body,
Which I'm bound to lose.
But she's taught me
That my scars don't
Define what I am of use.

Today, it's another of days,
My soul needs saving.
But alas,
she's nowhere to be found,
Lost among the demons praying.

I longingly look at the sky
As clouds of darkness
Cloak the horizon.
But then I catch her shadow,
Surviving.
Fighting the looming poison.

I finally breath,
Hopeful to live another day.
Now that I know that she'll
Forever be there along my way.
My precious moon,
Who made me believe that
this world is worth the stay.
