You Were the Moon

Turning Points

Turning Points

from hope to downward slope

and flying high, not just getting high

hindsight is double twenty

but looking back I see your smile

not the reasons it faded

did we start too fast?

life’s a journey, not a sprint

one of us turned off at the fork

…or was it the knife

or maybe I just stayed behind, watching you

beautiful as the moon

and as far

you always were brightest in the night

one thing I did learn, though

or two things

I loved you

but you never loved yourself
