I made a crack in the moon, just for a short while

Jun 4

Written By Yushan Wu

I threw a stone in the well

It made a splash and an echo

I made a crack in the moon

The moon in the well

It quickly healed itself

Yet my stone sunk

Broken at the bottom of the well

And the echo is gone

For a short while

My eyes crossed yours

My hands locked yours

The well absorbs

Erases the pain you left on my neck

I remember the aches

Just like how I remember the shape of my stone

You are the well

Or you are the moon

Couldn't tell which is which

Icy and bitter water surrounds my stone

So does the soft and simmering moonlight

In the shape of my heart

Drawn in by the light

Shattered in the dark

「I made a crack in the moon, just for a short while」
