At night

she sleeps under the moon

like the moon

she is always found

far away from the earth,

dreaming.

Her body waits for the sun to rise

but her heart is content,

recharging in the night.

At night

she sleeps under the moon

its glow seeps through the gaps of her curtains

and slides across her pale skin.

A gentle handful of moonlight

caresses her cheeks and paints

her dark hair silver.

The moonlight floods her soul,

races through her bloodstream

but by morning

she knows nothing of its existence.

At night

she sleeps under the moon

like soulmates, they are eternally separated.

Once she is awake, the sun is up

whenever the moon glows,

she lies

asleep.

But still, the moon shines on,

basking her in its glorious light.

At night

she sleeps under the moon

for the moon loves her

without anything in return.

He will wait till she falls asleep

just to hold her heart

in his hands

even if she never understands.
