Far Side of the Moon

On the far side of the moon I wander

Desolate, alone… all I have are the thoughts I ponder

Crater here and crater hence

With every step I take the air gets less dense

I don’t care what happens now and then

For Im alone in the very end

On the far side of the moon I wander

 Lonely, depressed… all I have are the thoughts I ponder

With each step I take, I move further from the light

Toward an advancing shadow, to the endless night

Among lovers, among couples, I walk alone

Alone… on the far side of the moon

With nothing beside me but a lonely sand dune

I walk alone… by the craters of the moon

Lonely lunar atmosphere

Has claimed all I ever held dear

Followed only by my footsteps

Remind me only of a million missteps

A world that has only threw me out

It has left no room for doubt

 Beyond me no air flies

Except that flowing from your lies

Lost forever… nowhere to go

Left alone…on the far side of the moon

It wouldnt have to be so lonely. You could pick up a moon rock and name him Wilson like Tom Hanks did on castaway. I dont know if you still feel this way but I am sorry. Sometime I feel like Im on the moon by myself to. My sense of reality is screwy

Sometime we can feel alone. I like the feel and purpose of this poem. The story took me on a road trip to find something worthwhile. Life is a fair journey. Sooner or later we find the place we support to be. A excellent poem. Poem is written with skill and told a powerful story.
