Poems of Life (Depression, Love, Etc.)

The Chipped Moon

The moon hangs in full,

My eyes dare to deceive me,

But I fear they are not:

You are gone,

You were never here.

Why did I believe you could be real?

Why did I believe when I knew

Something like this can never exist?

It was too sweet to believe,

It was taken away as soon as I opened my

Wretched eyes.

I gaze towards the moon,

The pale light cascades in slivers on the floor,

I can't get you out of my head,

I-I need you for some reason,

But I'm not willing to admit it.

I am a fool, a twat, an imbecile,

But I appear to have fallen in love with my dreams

Because they are the only place where

I can glimpse your smiling face once more.

I wish I could dream my life away,

I would be so much happier with you,

But that was taken away the moment I opened my eyes

And saw I was back in this wretched world.

I just need you here,

Maybe then I would care about myself,

Maybe then I wouldn't stay up all night

To sleep the days away.

Maybe then - Maybe then I wouldn't miss you,

Maybe then I wouldn't feel broken,

Maybe then I wouldn't feel so dead inside,

Maybe then I wouldn't deny that I do feel.

I only wish I could see you somewhere outside of my dreams,

The pain inside only augments with time,

I wish I-I could glimpse your face again,

But I-I don't deserve it,

My tears seem to wash you away from the world.

Why is this always true?

I dream of you only to awake alone,

I wish something more was for me,

But I am proud of waiting for you

Though I know you will never come to life.

My dreams are filled with thoughts of you,

My mind is filled with you and only you,

I wish I could say something that would make this all real,

I wish I could dream my life away

In order to glimpse your face.

The chipped moon hangs above me,

Light washes into my bedroom,

I feel the sadness overtake me as

I am left alone, without you.
