the moon

the moon knows my tears
my smiles
the raw truth
and all my fears 

the sun knows my longing
my face
my lies

the moonlight is bright yet quiet
the sun is loud and obnoxious
it can be nice but always excels
always on a quest
to overshadow the moon

i'll marry the moon
i'll kill starlight
and sun rays
into a beautiful sight

the moon is so personal to every being
the sun,
so public to everyone

artemis
an overpowered goddess
overshadowed by the sun
apollo

but i see you, artemis
and you see me
i thank you
for everything
for both being the sun and moonlight
for providing luminescence in the ghastly dark
and being the dusk i need
in the midst of the night
