-~🌙~-
I want to rip the moon from the sky
Claw
Tear
Shred
Her to pieces
This beautiful, loving being
Watching over me
Day and night
Since my first breath
In this world
I want to crouch over her remains
Howl
At the empty sky
Shed tears of release
Of agony
Shed tears
That flow
And swell
Into a river
Of loneliness
Sorrow
The listless freedom
Of a lost soul
I want to make a pillow
From her rubble
Still glowing
Still reflecting
The sun’s light to me
Nestle my nose
Into one tucked paw
Ears relax
Even in this crumbled state
Her presence here keeps me safe
Spend a fitful night
Where dreams come and go
Weaving a web
That threatens to suffocate me
To set me free
To reflect
My wild self
Back to me
Too much
Too big
Too intense
Too small
Too twisted
Too afraid
And in the morning
I will lift my head
Stretch
Yawn
Cradle the crushed, crumbled
Mess of a moon
Take one small sparkling stone
With me
As I trot off
In search of food
