Are we the waxing crescent or the waning?
You ask me as I break your heart again.
And I hear it, loud in the silent pain,
How you hope that I’d say yes.

I wish I could answer, but it’ll only make it louder.
You’re on your knees, your heart open at my feet.
I want to pick it up, but it’ll only leave you falling.
My hands are bleeding, reaching out to you,
My heart screams, I lov-
and my brain silences it.
My hands are bleeding, and they will stain you.
And you’ll spend forever washing me away.

How can I promise you forever?
When drop by drop, I bled in your arms
And you only noticed when I pulled away?
Our forever has been in blood for long,
But the blood on your chest was mine
Now you’re dying because it’s yours.
Now you’re trying because you’re mine.
Are we the waxing crescent or the waning?
How do I answer you, my darling?
My hands can’t hold you, but I’m still yours-
A grim gibbous who shines, not knowing for how long.

# spice heart i didnt understood the starting of words and some of ending but just by understa...

Aww thank you!🤍
And the starting is basically a contemplation like, think of it as a relationship where one person isn’t sure if they want long term commitment(the speaker) and the beloved is asking her if they are the waxing crescent or the waning, like are they starting over or are they in the last few days of togetherness. He wants forever but she can’t promise forever. So she’s breaking his heart again and again with the uncertainty, and she’s guilty for that but it wasn’t exactly her fault that she came to this state(as you can see in the next stanzas)

#

He’s hoping for a yes, like a yes to marriage, but all they have rn is silence. And she’s syaing she can’t answer becauze if she says “no” again, his pain(the breaking heart) will only grow louder.
And she’s uncertain because
All this while she was givung her all to this relationship and bleeding drop by drop(little arguements repeating again and again, the same girl, tye same missrd calls) and he didn’t do anything to fix it until the moment she got tired and grew distant

#

So now she’s growing distant and he’s doing everything to keep her, begging her to stay, bwing a better man for her, but she can’t go back to the forever mindset becauze he onlt stepped up when HE started bleeding(the fear of losing her)

#

Soooooo finally she answers

#

That she isn’t a crescent

#

She’s the gibbous moon

#

She acknowledges his efforts, his guilt and devotion and loves him deeply and she is still his beloved buuuut she doesn’t know for how long she can keep shining and she doesn’t know if she will get detached

#

So a gibbous

#

ONG that’s so long an explanation😭

#

Now can you reformat that but going line by line

obtuse crypt
#

Like reformat the explanation line by line?

elfin juniper
#

idk some parts are really confusing me

#

so I'm tryna learn about moon cycles to know

obtuse crypt
#

Ohh

elfin juniper
#

to see how it makes sense

#

The crescent is the moon jist after the new moon

#

Waning crescent means the next moon will be the new moon yk the light will be gone? (She’lll dump him)

#

Waxing crescent=the moon is growing and it will lead towards the full moon=she’ll stay/give him a second chance

#

Gibbous moon the moon right after the FULL moon or right befire the full moon. To her, the relationship isn’t a crescent but a gibbous

#

It is shining pretty bright

#

She can see the love in his eyes and she loves him too

#

But the thing is she’s in a state where she herself isn’t sure if she will be able to commit long term or detach

#

So she doesn’t know if the moon will be full(waxing crescent growing to full moon=relationship healing) or if she will actually get emotionally detached and leave no matter how much efforts he puts now

#

IDK Ī HOPE THT MADE SENSE
