Don't Look Through Tears

Do you see that moon?
Do you see these trees?
Don’t you see my body?
They all shine, grow, and live for you
Tonight

So what if you cried?
It’s not worth the tears
So what if you died?
I can bring you to life

You see that moon,
Thousands of miles away?
It shines in your eyes
To make you impossibly beautiful

See these trees,
Trying to grow more?
They reach stars to drop leaves
That only glorify you more

Don’t you see my body,
Holding all of you?
It breathes life for you
So empty yourself

Give yourself to me
As I’ve given to you
So we can be empty selves
But overflowing with each other

This was written on the car ride home, from North Port. I was looking at the moon, and since I love it so much, I felt inspired, I guess. This is another poem that has nothing to do with my personal life. I was going to make it a sort of "come back to me, forgive me" poem, but I thought this would be better. In the beginning, the guy is talking about himself as if he's talking about a thing, something he can just give away. And when he says "holding all of you," it doesn't just mean physical. He takes in her pain and sorrow, to give back happiness. You could look at this poem as if it was jesus talking to you, or you can just look at it romantically. It works both ways.
