Black Ink: A Collection of Poems

I Only Told The Moon

I always find myself

Staring at the starry night

Then I'd look at the moon and smile

After letting out a big sigh

The moon would stare back at me

Not liking what she see

She knew it to well

That my smile wasn't real

She knows me a lot now

Maybe more than you know me

'Cause whenever I feel the most alone

She's always up there smiling at me

She's so far like you

She's out of my reach like you

But at least I can see her down here

Something that's impossible with you

She's been seeing most of my tears

Healthy tears I hide from you

I wouldn't like you seeing them fall

'Cause you, wiping them, would be impossible

She's hearing my every sob

Painful sound I refuse to let go

I don't want you to her me cry

'Cause you won't be here to make me smile

I told her all my pain

Something I stopped telling you

I just don't want you to feel bad

'Bout something you didn't do

I know she wanted to comfort me

But all she can do is stare at me

It's okay, I'm fine with that

I felt she never left my side

I'm sorry if I sealed my mouth

I'm sorry if I don't talk

There are things I couldn't tell you

Things I only told the moon.
