despite the change

even though i'm leaving you
it's the most i've ever needed you.

twisted moon

full of brilliance 

purpose unquestioned 

wholly you 

you stare down on me 

with heavy eyes

seeing what i do 

knowing what i desire

and laughing at the difference

you 

same moon

who before has rained down 

confidence

certainty 

beauty

why now do i gaze up 

to feel so 

broken 

small 

lost.
