The Moon and the Star

You call me your moon
Beautiful with my scars;
Waxing and waning
Ever-present nonetheless;
Following your every step,
Listening to all your secrets,
Singing sweet lullabies on lonely nights,
Lighting up the darkness within your soul.

Yes, I am the moon
But you are my Star
Burning bright always
Invincible, needing none,
The centre of my galaxy,
My existence revolving around you.

Yes, I am the moon
But I'm just a piece of rock
If you shine not upon me
Just one of your many lovers.
