Me, the sun, you, the moon, and joy, the earth


You circle my joy 

orbiting around

showing it who you are

and it showing you it's sound


I shine on my joy and you

giving all my rays

all of my warmth

creating nights and days


My joy it circles me

always surrounding

and bringing in others

who find it astounding


but you stand between

blocking my view of my happy

I cannot see it

and it cannot see me


you eclipse my joy

and I am unsure

is it gone or taken away

and with each eclipse I endure


i'm not sure why

I stay in this orbit

letting you block my joy

creating in between a split


maybe its when I do see it

and I see the orbit you do

the joy I do see

is what keeps me with you


is it worth it though?

having to see eclipse after eclipse

can the joy be enough to rule it out

or will it create too many conflicts?

This piece was inspired by the feeling of love, where the person repetitively is doing things that makes the other unhappy. Although, despite this, the other person is conflicted because they still have happy moments
