TAKE THE MOON

Written for Janemarie's Big Poetry Prompt Contest

TAKE THE MOON

Take the moon from the sky,
take the stars as well -
You've taken all the dreams
and left me in a living hell.

Thoughts are running rampant,
thoughts are very cold and deep;
I long for peace and freedom
as I endure a restless sleep.

The bitterness and anger
went through me like a knife,
as I remembered yesterdays
when you were a loving wife.

I'll never understand it all,
I never will know just why
you chose the path you've taken
and I'm in too much pain to try.

Take the moon from the sky,
take the stars as well -
You've taken all the dreams
and left me in a living hell.
