Once there lived two bright moons
They couldn’t break out of their cocoon
They loved each other like a perfect couple
Just like a perfect couple there was always trouble
Their love grew and grew like lovers around
They couldn’t do anything or make a sound
As gravity split them further apart
They started to lose pieces of their heart
One moon, the man, lost his light
So he wasn’t visible in the night
She was still always in his sight
She didn’t know of his close presence
So when you see that it isn’t a full moon
It is because of the other moon
Looking over her like a shadow
Can you feel both of their sorrow?
