the sun and moon

You were like the sun.
Golden, piercing sunlight blinding me momentarily,
Making me struggle to grasp my surroundings.

I had no choice but to follow and watch you;
Everywhere,
Everyday.

Being my lifeline,
You were so fearful I would peek outside the bubble
And look at others being happy.
But,
You forgot he was right there.

I guess you knew me too well.
I got distracted by him;
The pale, milky moon that illuminated my rosy skin.
I tried to deny and stay true to you
But all in all what was a girl to do?

When the clock struck 9 and the stars rose high,
I turned around to feel and cling to those burning kisses

Only to find
You were gone
And I was no longer yours
The freedom I should have felt wasn't quite there,
Why did I feel so cold and in despair?

His cool, lingering strokes and icy stares
Didn't ignite me.
I stayed an unlit match,
Crawling for something,
Anything,
That would make me feel warm.

The warm
That heated my head to my toes,
And sent rushes all over.
Made my pale skin blush,
And act foolishly in a unworldly rush

I think,
Perhaps I might miss that warmth
