dear moon,

there's a secret
place that only
a few know of
(including myself)

you can only
find it late at night
when you're alone
with nothing but
your own thoughts
and the loneliness
that lingers the
surrounding space

your friends come
out of the dark to
show you the way

they whisper
promises of sweet
nothings and happily
never afters

as
you sit there listening
to the bittersweet
melodies

you try to
speak up against
this raging war

but even you know
there can only be
one winner (and
that's never you)

and as you accept
tonight's defeat
you've reached your
final destination

welcome to
the land of tears
(where sadness
is guaranteed)
