in their own way, each uniquely divine

the sun first caught my eye

bright eyes flaming with every grin

she burned me in way i couldn’t resist

with her warmth and embrace seared into my soul

i fell in love like never before

i thought i could tame her

how ridiculous it seems now

the idea of a mortal ever capturing her heart

she loved me in her own way

a ways away from my mundanity

she broke my heart like she loved me

the stars came next

their twinkle made my heart pound

they were strong and clear on cloudless nights

whispering secrets to me like a game

i fell harder than before

they broke my heart worse

distance my greatest enemy

i could never touch them

they laughed like i was silly and cooed

but i could see

they loved me the only way they could

granting my wishes every time they fell

they broke me like they loved me

last came the moon

his silvery glow became my flashlight

i thought i would never love again

and there he was every night

shining full and bright

he was soft and solemn

listening to my hurt and carrying it for me

he loved me first and that surprised me

always attentive and gentle

he took care of me when i couldn’t

i grew to love him when i knew i shouldn’t have

he mended me only to shatter me worse

leaving me broken beyond repair

i know he loved me

and i wanted to believe it would be forever

but just like the sun and stars

the moon also must go eventually

he loved me so deeply

i felt like his only tide

i broke my own heart by forgetting

i was only a human

i can never be so divine
