Crying On The Moon's Shoulders

Just another lonely mermaid...

she laid there
in her favorite spot
in the safe shadows of complacency
sadly somber
heart--broken
once
again




Sitting so still there
No sun
No more fun
Daylight
gone
nursing her pain,
wiping away tears...
tears that were now free to fall
tears that make her feel
like she was going insane

After the last time giving
all that she had to give
So sad that she never once considered
what she needed in return
or....
that she still needed 'her' to live

Yet, she tossed her own self aside
trying to share her heart
eager to take that enchanted ride
that ended
with loneliness
and the painful breaking of her heart

Echoes of laughter
and the good times that she had
now bounced off the mental spaces
the walls.....
that both of them
had carelessly scaled

They shared
They cared.....
but now he was gone away

She sit....
listening
wishing
for his footsteps down the hall
to walk again
across the canvas of her heart

She couldn't help but be discouraged
To be sad, and to cry;
especially when she didn't understand
or know the reason why

So she just lays there,
while MY LADY, THE MOON
watches her
..........while she cries
