a bowl of light


it's a half moon tonight.

you have always been beautiful in my eyes, except tonight. it somehow saddened me that tonight, you seemed so real and yet i have never seen you like this before. i was fond when you were shining completely, with glee and with dominance over the dark sky of the night but tonight, tonight is a totally different story.

why did you let yourself be conquered by darkness? why does your face conjure two faces--the beautiful and the ugly?

you are weak. i believed you during the days when you shone bright among us. you were complete, endless, sensational, as if there is no one that could beat you in the darkness. your charm has just put everything else aside. you were the only--heavenly.

but tonight, darkness slowly creeps on you, eats you piece-by-piece, half-by-half. is this what you are really like when most of us are asleep? why are you dented? why are you diminishing? why are you losing light?

you are pretentious. liar. a cheat. if you think you can forever pretend you were complete, think again. i saw you. and you were as ugly as they are. you were so proud of yourself then, when everyone else adores your light. but when they have fallen into slumber, you uncover yourself, you are just becoming as dark as they are.

earlier tonight, i admired you but right now, you were just like them.
and you failed me.
