Despedida Mi Amor

The Moon and The Stars

Look up at the sky when you find yourself alone,

admire this beautiful world and everything beyond.

Gaze at the twinkling stars and the glowing moon,

as they find themselves lost up there in the blackness.

Stare until the blackness engulfs the world around you,

until it wraps itself tightly around your heart and soul,

until it becomes just you and the moon and the stars.

Then, look around you.

The stars and the moon are your friends in the light,

you can tell because they are all with each other up there.

But, look again, around you, there lies nothing

but an overwhelming sense of darkness and blackness 

that swallowed up everything surrounding you.

Now look back to the moon and the stars.

They are your friends.

You're still lost in a world of darkness, so reach out to them.

They won't reach back.

The stars will remain happy and twinkling with each other,

their light will shine and glow full of happiness,

those stars will never even notice your struggle.

Reach to the moon to save you,

it won't help.

The moon is your friend, your closest friend to you.

However, it will not help you because it's up there,

up in that black sky with the stars dancing and shining around it. 

Why would such a beautiful creation turn away from something 

that is so much more beautiful and heart-lifting?

Why would the moon turn around and lose its place in the sky

to only help a soul trapped in the blackness?

Why would your best friend leave their new friends to help you?

The sky is better than the darkness,

so how could you be so selfish to reach out to the moon for help?

The moon has met the stars, it's life is wonderful even without you.

Beautiful and bright, the moon has found a new happiness, 

so why should an old friend even matter anymore?

You don't matter. 

That's why you're left alone here

while everyone else has left you to go dance in the sky

because its better there, it's not the same old boring blackness

that is you.
