His eyes shine like moons,
Mirroring the light of his soul.
Without him, the night sky is dark.

When they fight,
His eyes are new moons,
Invisible to her in the dark sky.

They are a full moon when they embrace,
His eyes glowing brightly,
Keeping her demons away.

She knows he is always there,
Protecting her while the world sleeps,
His eyes illuminating the night.
