The Moon

I see you react as my hand touches your face

Calloused with the wrongs I have done

As I look past your eyes to what's behind

I see your soul through your window pane

I see the pain, I see you

Told to stand up straight and don't show it

To sew closed the sinews of a soul

That simply wants to shout out

Just keep this in mind and hold it close

The sun may shine brighter than the moon

But the moon shines enough

To guide someone's path

Especially when they are most in need

No one ever asked why they are so happy

But the empathetic glow of the moon

Shines brighter when the world is darkest
