When the Clouds Cover the Moon

When the clouds cover the moon, I feel a hole in my heart.
There are tears threatening to burst from every pore in my body.
It's like there's something more important than me that you're looking to find.
Like I can never be truly yours.
Your first choice.
I see it in your eyes. A craving that you can't hold.
Then just like that, you're gone back to what is more imporant to you.
Now, the clouds have covered the moon and I have to wait for a clear night to be okay again.

    Birds singing their hopeful songs
    Grass hushing in the breeze 
    Smell of fresh pond air with every breath
