Chapter 5 - EVERLASTING BETRAYAL

EVERLASTING BETRAYAL

Once I wondered why it caught my gaze
Why I stayed up so late just to catch a glimpse
I never missed a day it was all I had
The comfort of it never left me

I wanted it every minute of the day
But it always wasn’t there when I needed it most
Like when I cried it was gone and the sun was replacing it
But I know the sun can never replace what it has given me

It has given me my solitude that I treasure
It gave me what I never thought I could have
It showed me that I could be strong
And finally it showed me that I could say things that were forbidden

I waited until it returned each night, dreading the day’s time
Midnight was my greatest joy but morning was always looming right after
I never had enough time with it at night, it made me somber
I almost cried when the clouds shortened are visit

If I didn’t have it I wouldn’t have all the memories I have today
Even though it has brought me good secret hours
I have never forgotten what I heard during my nightly visits
The anger my father brought upon my hard working mother

It brings me pain and it gives me hope
I wish I could just stare at it for eternity
But it will never happen because it will always leave my side
I need it like no other thing but it has betrayed me to many times to count

I dread and love the Moon; this statement will stand everlasting in my soul
