Trapped In The Margins

The moon knew before I did

How I really felt about him.

Casting him in its light

I saw something that I’ve never seen before

I saw the truth in its rarest form

I saw a man so passionate about something that it radiated from his skin

His words were filled with wonder and awe

His eyes reflected the radiance of the moon

I didn’t know it then but somehow the moon knew

This man was everything that I’ve ever prayed for

Even though I’m not the praying sort

He will always be my moonlit lover.

But the world keeps spinning and the sun begins to rise.

Daylight looks harsh in his eyes.

The wonder and awe have turned to sadness and disgust.
