The moon is melancholy tonight.

The heart is not symmetrical; the love

is in imbalance. The tears once shed for

starlight’s beauty

now reserve themselves for

another form.

Joy is that form -

joy over unfathomable depths,

joy over peace, over vacancy of thought,

joy over deep serenity?

The heart’s connection

to its new counterpart

was enforced in a cruel fashion.

The bond with the moon was broken.

The moon is melancholy tonight.

Author guidance for This poem

I suppose if you want the poem to have a message, if you think it has to have one (which I don't personally), it's 'Love overrides all'. Now I'm not being depressing or bitter or resentful; I just imagined the moon enjoying a human's attention and then the moon's reaction when the human fell in love.
If you're wondering about the first four lines of the second stanza, it's basically intended to be the moon questioning her inferiority to love. I might have put an exclamation mark but I didn't because the moon is melancholy. :)
