Are you the moon?

With you, and with her

You’re radiant like the moon

What’s the difference?

Both of you are bright

Quiet, soft, delicate light

And so far away

 

Cold light, hiding now

You are blocked out by the sun

Every single day

 

Come out with the stars

In your eyes, they shine so bright

As bright as the moon

 

Your skin is scarred, marked

Covered in dents and crevices

You are beautiful

 

Like the lunar moon

You shine at night, with the stars

Beautifully far.
