Seven years ago, I befriended the moon,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was young and empathy flew where it often shouldn\u2019t have\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t have believed, if you told me then,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I was lonelier than the moon,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why I was bolder, since I was younger,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So I asked to befriend\u00a0 the moon,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I cited the distance,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, the grievance she must have, God was unfair\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Casting her away, while I was here<\/span><\/p>\n

But my moon was kind, benevolent,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blind to my ignorance,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She let me bask in the glory,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me tell my story,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of how I vanquished evil isolation,<\/span><\/p>\n

I could not have been alone, she was my consolation,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah youth, how I thrived in blind negation\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And swore on my honor and reputation,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
