Star-crossed lover

Opposites attract, like the sun and the moon.

You are the sun and I am the moon.

I fell in love with you

I fell in love with you too soon.

“Live by the sun, love by the moon”

You bring me life but you can’t reciprocate my love,

Such a star-crossed fate they wove for us,

Sending me to an abyss of doom.

It’s written in the stars, and spoken through my eyes

I love you so dearly; I can’t disguise it as well as I think

And you know this. You’ve known this.

You’ve known that you’ve owned this body, this crescent heart of mine

You are the other half, the sun that shined and showed me the dark side

of myself

bringing me to the brink of brilliance

Your perfect beams and rays of light

Send me dreams of greys and whites, the only colors I’ve ever felt,

Because I know that I would melt if you ever showed or conveyed your love.

I would die with and without you: fade into the black background behind shrouds of cold clouds, drown myself in the reflection of the sea, and live in constant misery and mystery.

I am the moon and you are the sun.

I love you so much that I will run away and hide.

You live in the day and I will love you in the night

from afar, my star-crossed lover.

I felt the over-all theme of this verse...--- yet as a reader of this piece...this seems to wander...also the wordage can be edited down to give more with less...I see you like the romantic side with your writings...of course I only read two out of three...IMPO --- I'd have at this again and give the write all its worth in the lines...seems you wanted to do this as a song...in lyrical format...by the the rendition of the beginning and the ending...
