the thin fibers that hold me together strain against the tautness <br />the weight becomes unbearable <br />and I can't see the moon <br /> <br />following the sting, and clouded by haze of my own making, I seek it <br />that feeling of discovery, of self worth <br />and I can't see the moon <br /> <br />wisps of smoke shelter me through the torrents <br />lost in agony, inconsolable <br />and I can't see the moon <br /> <br />darkness crowds the dark thoughts <br />suddenly you are out of reach <br />and I can't see the moon <br /> <br />life is just an illusion darling <br />but I'll believe you if you tell me it isn't so <br />yet I still can't see the moon <br /> <br />I lost my trust, but never should have <br />I am not the one you feel <br />and I can't see the moon <br /> <br />I thought I found you, but you weren't there at all <br />somehow you forget I am next to you. your beauty obscures <br />and I still can't see the moon <br /> <br />all the anger I have felt slips through my fingertips <br />live while you can <br />because I can't see the moon <br /> <br />paradise awaits on the other corner of life, knowing <br />if you love a lot you'll find strength to sing alone <br />and perhaps you will see the moon <br /> <br />there are a thousand things I want to say <br />but I can only think of one. <br /> <br />yet I still can't see the moon.<br /><br />Eila Mahima Jaipaul<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-can-t-see-the-moon/
