The Moon

by Lena   Jun 21, 2021


I never knew my name translated to “the moon”.

Maybe that’s why I am the way I am.

Alone in the dark, I suppose I am meant to be the beam of light but I feel so very dull.

Who wants to be hung up alone forever.

You were the sun and she was the earth.

Forever meant to orbit around each other.

I guess it’s the way it goes.

It’s what was meant to be.

I just have to wonder what happens to me?

I’m tired of being in the darkness.

    Sometimes names seem too symbollic for words, especially when you're going through a certain period of time. As Maher already said, the line
    Who wants to be hung up alone forever
    ^^ is very overwhelming.
    'Lena' I suppose comes from 'Luna', meaning 'moon' in latin ( which in turn might come from 'lux', meaning light ). I don't know I'm basically guessing :)
    Anyway, a beautiful but sad write
