WANE OF THE MOON

She stands in the rain
As her heart yearns
She watches the moon wane
As she burns


Stillness
Overcomes her heart
Among the mess
That kept them apart


She reaches out
She looks to him
Left with doubt
All too well she knows him


As he is too young to hold on
She slips away
As they watch the setting of the sun
Her heart sways


He tries to love her
Yet life pulls him away
He says to come over
Her lust leaves her with nothing to say


Time seperates their desires
Space inbetween
He reaches for her
His attempts are unseen


She stands in the rain
As her heart yearns
She watches the moon wane
Forever for him she burns
