Rejected Love

The moon loved the sun

Yet the sun never paid her any attention

He focused his energy on staying the centre of attention

Even so, the moon was devoted to him

Longing to be by his side

Her mother warned her about him

Going as far as restraining her from meeting him

Always keeping her within view

Yet she would not listen

She snuck away from her mother’s embrace

Sneaking through the crowd towards him

He was more then she imagined

Both for better and for worse

He was grand,

He was fantastic

More grandiouse and handsome than physically possible

Yet she couldn’t lay her eyes on him

His charm blinded her

Burned her

The closer she got,

The more it hurt

She could not bear him any longer

How could she love such a man

If she couldn’t even look at him?

Or bare to be next to him?

Yet this was only the beginning

As the sun had noticed her

Such a beautiful, elegant girl

He had to have her

He chased after her

Shining even brighter than before

Beckoning her to be with him

The moon couldn’t take it

The light terrified her

She was melting

Dying beneath his thumb

She fled

Seeking refuge in the dark

No longer able to stand bright lights

He tried to chase her

But the crowds he created prevented him from doing so

With no desire of giving up,

The sun’s only option was to send her letters

To this day, the sun continues to shower the moon with love

But she rejects him,

Turning her eyes away

Hiding in the darkness behind her mother

Dancing with the twinkling stars

Stars that she dreams of meeting yet dares not to
