we become survivors of a strange attrition
where emotions become dragged out
eclipsed by the shadow of the sun and the lurid rays
of the moons,
i was the girl who praised the moon in a clear blue sky
and hid away while the sun blasted the ground with its heat
you were idle during nights, but we both felt the same
the moon wanes to a crescent, and we realize we are
our only constants in each other's life
best friends caught in the crossfire of our parent's war
