I'm literally their daughter.
I just want to be alone with the moon and the ocean

“The moon is a curving flower of gold, The sky is still and blue; The moon was made for the sky to hold, And I for you. The moon is a flower without a stem, The sky is luminous; Eternity was made for them, To-night for us.”
— Sara Teasdale, from Tonight; Love Songs: Poems, 1917
Especially simping for the moon.
life is crying, reading books, drinking coffee, listening to like 2 songs, yearning, simping for the moon and then you die
i talk to plants and the moon. ୨୧
think of me when the sky is pink
“your skin smells like light. i think you are the moon.”

“A woman who writes feels too much, those trances and portents! […] She thinks she can warn the stars. A writer is essentially a spy. Dear love, I am that girl.”
— Anne Sexton, from “The Black Art,” published in Poetry (August 1962).
