Handwritten Letter To The Moon(Dedicated To My Friend) Poem by Eugene Pappan

I have more fake friends
then there are stars in the sky
But you'll always be my moon
Watching over me as the world rests
and guiding me through this
dark thing called life
by the constellations in your voice

Even when your Thousands of miles away
you never left my side
on days I felt half full
you once said
the light that shined from me
could never be eclipsed
by something as meager as this world

You even found a way to make gravity less powerful
I don't fall alot, but when I finally did
you cradled the cracks of my heart into poetry
On my darkest days, when everything else failed
You made the north star look like a burnt piece of ash
a million light years away
You were my lighthouse of hope

Thank you

If this world ever tried to turn its back on you
I'd place my back to the ground, eyes aimed at the sky
and reserve my last breathe for your name

I learned long ago
That I could never settle for the word friend
Even though we weren't cracked from the same womb
I still call you sister

And Sister

I miss you...
Miss you
Like the ocean w/ thousands of stars judgements
reflected on its face
desperately searching my skin
for your image

Remember
that all the stars in my universe
could never outshine you

I love you, sooo much....
the first time I said it
It felt like the first time Adams breath
gave birth to that four letter miracle
like the second his feelings became to much for his body

If I could, I would remix the stars into music notes
To show you what your voice sounded like
If i could only find that perfect sequence of chords

But there were cords from where I came from
that lashed into symphonies of regret
You told me
'I heard beautiful laughter
echo from the most god awful places,
some never realize the hell their in,
because they found the heaven in themselves'

You taught me the easiest part of the past
is letting it go
so I let the past run through my fingers
like the barb wire feeling
of wanting so desperatly to forgive
starting w/ myself
But it could never fathom where to begin

If weren't for you sho'ing me the way
I would have probably lost myself by now
so thank you for finding me ;)
