Luna

I see you
Pulling away
Slowly
Withdrawing from me
From our bond
From the forces
Which brought us together
So long ago
As we go around
In circles
Putting space between us

I reach out
Longing to hold you
Slowing your withdrawal
Keeping you
In my reach
As I cherish our past
And Dread the inevitable
At the expense of our present

I know
You won't turn away
Our past prevents it
So we are left
With no choice
But to hold
Each other's gaze
As we fade
Ever so slowly
Into oblivion

The above is my first poem in a while. I solicited inspiration on a d buzz post the other day. I asked for non-meme images. ahmadmangazap@ahmadmangazap provided two GIFs for inspiration. Click here to see the originals. One was a boy gazing up at the stars and another of the moon. It made me think about the relationship between the moon and the Earth. I looked up this article which said the moon is slightly moving away from the Earth and I came up with the poem. I obviously personified a lot of this. Did you think it was of something else? What did you think of the poem? How did it make you feel?
