Eclipse

A poem of being the light and the dark

I had a lover who saw the sun in me

He embraced my warmth and basked in my light

He saw brightness and beauty in me

He adored my ability to help others grow

He loved me for that

I had a lover who saw the moon in me

He understood my need for silence

He witnessed my need to be surrounded by stars

He admired my serenity

He loved me for that

I have not met a lover who sees that I am both

To see that exuberance is tiring

To see that isolation is refreshing

I am a coin they flipped and only saw one side

But I am a creation of sun and moon

Of light and dark

Of chaos and peace

Who will love me for that?
