This reminds me of a poem I wrote (that went in the “book”) called “The Moon Is Broken”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Moon Is Broken\u201d<\/strong>
\nForester J. Barker III
\nDecember 4, 2006\u00a0 – All Rights Reserved<\/p>\n

The moon is broken,<\/em>
\nmy life\u2019s not the same.<\/em>
\nMy nocturnal companion<\/em>
\nhas been spirited away.<\/em><\/p>\n

The secrets I told her<\/em>
\nfrom deep within my heart<\/em>
\nnow fly unfettered,<\/em>
\nunattended in the dark.<\/em><\/p>\n

Through the seas of stardust,<\/em>
\nthrough the night unaware,<\/em>
\npart of my past is winging,<\/em>
\nall alone, out there.<\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s some solace in being numb<\/em>
\nfor emotions come and go,<\/em>
\nno bitter words to cut you down,<\/em>
\nNo one saying \u201cI told you so\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For no longer do I walk<\/em>
\nwith the one that I love,<\/em>
\nwhile my nighttime mistress<\/em>
\nshines down from above.<\/em><\/p>\n

So grasp each moment you can,<\/em>
\nremember your words not spoken;<\/em>
\nthey may be all that you have<\/em>
\nwhen you find that the moon is broken.<\/em><\/p>\n
