Love Letters (1/31)

Love Letters (1/31)

To my sister

Who is always told she is different from me

I say

(We

Are different phases of the same moon)

And while others only acknowledge the darkness that you shine out of

I see

a reflection of a waning sprit that is turning her back on the world

To face a star

A new moon

(We

Are phases of the same moon)

You & I know

What it’s like to revolve around a thing that gives life and still feel abandoned

No wonder

We share

More than first and third quarter features

Where there are cracks on our surface that we didn’t put there

And everyone can see

(We

Are of the same moon)

You even love like me

Pulling waves of emotions out of lovers

Who want you to fight for them

As if they don’t feel our gravity

Like it don’t take strength to be landed on and explored for worth

(We

Are the same moon)

You admire

The way

The world marvels when I present myself in full reflection mode

Failing to notice that they ignore the darkness that surrounds me

(We

Are the moon)

A thing to marvel and underestimate

May our self discovery be as significant as our purpose

May we heal

May our future lovers see us for more than just our beauty

And on the the days where we are new and in envy of the others fullness

May you & I remember that

We

Are different phases of the same moon
