Like the moon

They say I've changed

I'm not the same

that I'm deranged

they only know my name

If they had taken time to see

beyond the habits

they think are me

 they'd know it takes the pain

of loving's gain

to expand my range

into the me I choose to be

They say I'm down

but I'm not out

love turned around

and showed me doubt

I'm like the moon

I shadow shift between

the holding and the missing

the crying and the kissing

For I will love

and I will be

the fullest me

For in this broken meme

this loop of loving

I circle back again

into the inner me

I'm like the moon

I shadow shift between

the holding and the missing

the crying and the kissing

For I will love

and I will be 

the fullest me.
