Only The Moon Knows

Here’s a poem that reflects on life and loneliness. Do read it.

How the solitude grows
Bare, within my skin
A muted living,
This unsure breathing,
An unquiet sting; only
The moon sighs,
Under the forlorn
Night sky, overcast
Like my mind
No comfort, no release-
Only the moon
Shines across the valleys
Of forgotten memories
And rivers that dry
And flow. Knows,
Only the moon
