Me and the Moon

It's a poem of not being sure and looking for guidance. The title and the poem was inspired by a beautiful song called "Me and the Moon" by Something Corporate. Written by the amazing inspirational Andrew McMahon.

i sit in the dark,

with the moon by my side.

I try to move on

but the moon asks me why.

 

i gaze at the moon and say,

"You dont know what its like to lose a love you had."

the moon smiles at me and says,

"Love isnt supposed to make you sad."

 

i sigh heavily and whisper,

"love is pain, and pain is love."

the moon hears me and says,

"Thats not true just look above."

 

"you see the stars under the night sky?

you see how they sparkle when you look?

thats how your lover's eyes should be,

because you read her like a book."

 

from there love grows

and the journey begins

theres no fairy tale endings

just heartache and sins

 

its like when a king accused of treason

is kicked of his thrown

i look at the moon and said

how would u know? ur always alone?

 

the moon stayed quiet

and then the sun came up

the sun smiled n said

good morning dont give up

 

im the sun for a reason

and the moon has its reason too

im here to cheer u up

shes here to turn u blue

 

love is beautiful

with complications along the way

if there werent any

love would always be the same

 

so fight for what you believe in

but dont cling on too strong

just because its love

it doesnt mean it cant be wrong.

 

 

i wake up with tears in my eyes

and i smile like never before

the sun is right

so i walk out the door

 

i love you and ill fight

if youre willing to fight too

im willing to sacrifce whatever

as long as i have you.

I love it! This is just wonderful... :) Inspirational.... !

And you have a great flow and rhyme pattern, as well.

"the moon smiles at me and says,
"Love isnt supposed to make you sad."

If only we would learn how to distinguish this. So true, love is not suppose to make us sad. Love houses no ill feelings at all. Fear, doubt, and the like are what cause sadness, not love. And if the person we 'love' always causes fear, doubt, anger and the like to be prevelant, perhaps -- it isn't really love or it just shouldn't be.

The moon is so wise! :-D

Lovely piece!!! Thank you for sharing this, I needed to read it.

like a fairty tale turned into a poem. brilliant. beautifully written. very inspiring. i like the simplicity, the almost childlike quality about it yet its dealing with a very grownup subject matter. i love the imagery of talking to the moon & the sun. well done. one of my favorites.
