A God Abandoned, Poem

I’ve been here for so long; I’ve lost track of the years. I have sat holding my knees up to my chin, rocking and watching the sun. My eyes are starbright, with shattered glass, of a shattered dream. I’ve been forgotten by all I once knew, and I have forgotten them too. I was sent here by dreams and wishes, landed with grace and fell with dignity, but I never made it back. The earth glows below me, forever more in my presence. I rise and stand but again and again I fall. Never do I fall back to where I long to be, I keep falling endlessly. Then I land again surrounded by stars bright and comets light. The lunar glow illuminates my skin, my hair without wind. My hands slender and sleek, nevermore will they climb a mountains peek. I have left my world behind, with nothing but my words to stand beside. I am nothing and no one, but I used to be. I used to be bright and young, but now I stay cold desolate up above. It is naught but a wish to ever hear another speak, nor a crow, or a dove. Instead, the only coos I hear are my tears. They drip down face, like the waterfalls I used to marvel at. The only company I have is the wolf’s howls, rising up and up through their jowls. Long have I been forgotten, serene and closed off from the world below. I am a being of no rules, nothing can contain me, nothing but the enclosed walls of my mind. My soul is gone, yet I still breathe. There is no air to fill my lungs and so I heave. I have lain here dying for many millennia, left to rot forsaken spirit on my own. But my breath shudders on and my heart pounds weakly forth. I am abandoned and banished for no crimes of my own. All wishes towards me were ill. I lie here with wings folded around my heart of stone, cradling me and my horns of old. The pit inside was eaten too large, now I am nothing but a hole. Once I fought a glorious battle but lay in ruins of old, lights bloom beneath me, showing stories untold. Every cycle my face grows deeper in the shadows, left all alone. I am Selene, god unknown. Demon and Angel, thrown from above, earth welcomed me, then threw me down. But I rose, wings fluttering like a heart, hopes and dreams torn apart. Left on the moon to turn to bone.
