Solitary Moon

Solitary Moon

Adrift in this sea of loneliness,
by myself in a crowd

Gazing at couples like
a hungry wolf, feeling
not jealousy but forlorn

Wondering when our day will come,
our "warm sunny day,"
a time for us and us alone

You walk the desert
as I climb the mountain,
holding tight to the
other one's soul

Stumbling through days,
while months turn to
years as I watch another
solitary moon
