A TOAST FOR TEARS

PLEASE WATCH OVER ME!

i was once a

s o u l m a t e
to the moon

& i hurt him
so much, he couldn't
bear my mere presence,
so he fled— away from
where i stood.

ABOVE—
where he guided
men through the
light he shone.

does he know,
i yearn for a little
of that, too?

ABOVE—
where i couldn't
be graced by his
touch no more.

that touch
of his was
once my drug.

ABOVE—
where my disastrous
hands and sweet
nothings couldn't
reach his hold.

he must be happy
where he is now.

i was once the moon's soulmate,
i punctured his heart too deep,
made craters in his surface
so visible;

'til this day, he punishes me
for what i did & i try to repay
my sins every night
by the window,
if that is,
he's listening.
