"Dear Moon,"

Moon,
Now I notice no one sees the love in me slowly diminished,
They say no kind act goes unpunished,
Giving out love that I carry left,
Is it the reason why I'm kind to everyone but myself?

Moon,
My heart has never been broken,
But tell me why I sealed it with time that is frozen,
If a heart died without a reason,
Can it still beating merely for a person?

Moon,
I was never the bridesmaid, never the bride,
No friend and I'm always in hide,
I was always adopted into a group of friends,
But they never know I  stick to none at the end.

Moon,
I tried to speak but their voices buried mine in,
So then I learnt that speaking out is a sin,
I wonder if people see me out of sympathy,
Will they notice if one day I vanish to  a place I shouldn't be?

Moon,
Right now I'm sitting in a room alone,
I hope someone would take my hand and say "Come along",
So that the heavy sorrow that I keep,
Can be shared with someone who will teach me how to stand on my own feet.

Moon,
I have to mask myself because no one like my genuine smile,
They only see my success but never my failure  I keep in a file,
I hope they will stop crossing my mind and my line,
At least now my love is all mine.

Moon,
Please if you could shower your light on the ones I loved like you once do to me,
Tell them how they cross my mind once, twice or more than it should be,
Give them light the way you gave me once I was finding peace,
Send them my warmest regards and the most tender kiss.
