Sunny Moon: Will I Try Again?

by lutchman balgobin   Aug 7, 2026


I tried for so many years
Tried to understand why
Why you would disappear
Why did I even try?

When I called out your name
When you always turned away
All I ever hoped
Was that you would stay.

I thought you didn't see me
I thought you didn't care
I thought you didn't understand
All I wanted was you here.

I spent so many nights
Searching through the sky
Wondering if you saw me
Wondering if you asked why.

Now that you see me
Now that you chose to stay
Will you stay close forever
Or will you go away?

So now when I go to rest
Do I carry with me any pain?
Just like the sun's light leaves the moon,
Will I ever try again...

    Hi! I really enjoyed reading your poetry. Your words create such strong emotions, but I felt they could become even more powerful with visuals.

    I’m a freelance artist with 3 years of experience, and I can turn the feelings and imagery in your poems into illustrations so readers can actually see the words come to life. We could even start with one poem or a few stanzas as a small project.

    I’d also love to share a few ideas on how visuals could help you reach a wider audience and create another way to benefit from your poetry.
