Soliloquy, Luna Sower
And underneath the gibbous moon is where I learned to feel
Her tumbling hair, a pair of eyes as blue as sharpened steel
The cracking fire lit her face and lit the night with zeal
A thousand times I'd looked at her, but never was it real
And underneath the waning moon is where I learned denial
For even while she smiled at me, my motives were on trial
I wore the mask so well, I knew, that I had won her trust
So how could I betray her for the ugliness of lust?
And underneath the crescent came the curse of urgency
When, hounded by her suitors, she professed the truth to me
I hesitated, damned us both with what I could not do
I should have spoken; should have told her, I am just like you.
And underneath the empty sky was where I found the void
The scorn around her would not stop until she was destroyed
The castle gates besieged; she needed someone with a voice
I would have spoken if I'd had a whisper of a choice
I watched beneath the waxing light as consequence unveiled
Hatred that had spread so far because my courage failed
The man who stood before us held in brutal hands a knife
I could have spoken. Even then. Instead, I took a life.
And time still passes, and the stars still caper overhead
Refusing to return to me the things I never said
I wonder, in the miles between us, does she feel the rain?
For underneath the full moon there is nothing left but pain.
Draft #5, Iridia Trilliaris
I once was broken, parts askew
They crafted me to something new.
Everything my engine cried
All disappeared in their blue eyes.
I'm only made to build machines
Smeared with grease and never clean
But they like me with my grime,
Stains they see as sanctified
