~Dead Like Me~

The wraith moon shines down
dead like me.
A frozen chunk of rock,
trapped in living earth's orbit.

Envious cold orb, it is
forever denied the embrace of life.
Bitter in its chill repose
above laughing terra below.

Barren beauty, inspiring love,
but forbidden to embrace it.
Dreaming passion and desire,
but dead like me to their truths.

I would free you if I could;
release you from your fruitless need;
give you to the eternal stars;
but inside, I'm dead like you.
