Moonlight

I never thought that by the age of 26
So many stars would have already been plucked from my once bright night sky
One by one my guides bid farewell in the night
Often not being able to say goodbye
But their lights twinkle in my dreams at night
Causing me to awaken with the acute emptiness in their absence
as darkness
The guidance I needed at sixteen was a dream compared to the things I've now seen
Missing my matriarch on which I could always lean
Thoughts of them used to make me smile but have left me feeling even more alone now
Just me and my Moon
I am a lonely, sad and lost woman without my North Star
Bathed in tears and showered in precious Moonlight
Brightening my darkest night
I rolled over and the light from Him kissed my face causing me to illuminate, then my heart began to break,
But it was my Moon who made me whole.
