Estranged
My way with words
never got me anywhere
it got me nothing
but you
you were the aloe
my burns never felt so good
you became the moon
to my sea
sway my waves
moon to my traveler
light my forest
in a fire of you
you became my goddess
I called and called
my prayers had no reception
even Atreyu lost Artax
shed your skin
venom underneath
it’s lonely inside you
came in the night
and gouged out
all my heart
but you left me my soul

Nice.
I can't leave an interesting comment, but I like the poem.
"you became the moon
to my sea"
The lines were clever enough to intrigue me...
