Moon to the Earth

I am slowly, ever slipping away, my love

You've always been there, since I first opened my eyes

Perhaps since the time of the stardust we're made of

I: a cold, wandering mess - You: warm, centred, wise

You're the jewel of my heavens, where beauty lies

Wispy swirls of white clouds, oceans the deepest blue

Forests vibrant green, soil dusty red: your earthrise

That I consume with my heart, so serene, so true

Why do your dwellers seek my light, this faded hue?

I welcome them arms wide, but then do tell me, love

They take you for granted, why, always wounding you?

What could I offer, if even you aren't enough?

I am slowly, ever slipping away, my love

Reasons we can't control, but I'll stay truly yours

One day, we might be tugged apart, yes, it'll be tough

But until then, we're bound still in our cosmic waltz
