With the sun in the sky
We’d smile and laugh
We’d walk on the sidewalks
Holding hands
Going nowhere
Skin soaking up the sun
We’d eat and drink
Forgetting to thank the animals who died
Just to feed our bellies
Forgetting about the feet that stomped on our grapes
As the poison glides down our throats
Oh yes,
When the sun was out
We were out
But the moonlight
He’d bring a whole different energy
In the moonlight
We’d lock eyes
And undress each other
We’d melt together
More one being, then two
Our skin
Must’ve absorbed the warmth from the sun
Because the heat we feel from each others bodies
When the lights were off and the moon was out,
It felt like the warmth from that star
That moonlight
And that wine
And her
It was everything
And it was always fleeting
Somewhere
In between the sun and the moon
We lost each other
And now
The sun feels cold
And the moon is bleeding
