《Poetry Jar // Wattys Shorts Winner》the sun, moon and you

i.
when I met the sun
he was loud and bold
and when he walked in the room
everyone couldnt help but notice him
he was the life of the party
and he always had a joke to tell
when he left me in the evening
I didn't know what to do
I was broken out of a spell
skin burnt, eyes blinded
I didn't know what to do
ii.
when I met the moon
he was beautiful to look at
he spoke in hushed tones and
he learnt the workings of my mind
he stayed silent when we were tired
he spoke of us when he was happy
he spoke of us when he was upset
when he left me in the morning
I didn't know what to do
but wait for his presence again
the silver sparkle blinding my eye
I didn't know what to do
iii.
when i met you
you were loud and bold
you were beautiful to look at
and within seconds I was sold
the idea of your hushed whispers
and the thought of your warm touch
i was seeking the best parts
of a love long disappeared
snatching from your nest
that was built for someone else
i didn't know what to do
there's a hollow space in my chest
from where your love has vanished
i still don't know what to do

The 13th Loop [A Progression, GameLit, Sci-Fi Adventure]
Kyle Goldman is having a bad century, multiple of them. Kyle is immortal, destined to live the same mediocre life over and over again. Worse, he remembers each time through life. Every betrayal, every life lesson, every combat spell, he is destined to learn them all again and again. Every life he re-awakens during the Awakening Trials. Trials designed to pull out the full magical and spiritual potential of a Space Force Candidate. Depending on how well he does in these trials can change his entire career. Since this is his thirteenth time through the trials he is well aware of their importance. Even better, he knows how to cheat. Having prior knowledge of the trials and their ever increasing difficulties is the ultimate form of cheating. Especially when the rewards for completing each stage of the trial is an increased Attribute point. He's lived each life to its fullest, some dying as a famous ace pilot. Others dying as an expeditionary Marine on long range space recon. Each life ultimately leads to the same inevitable end, he makes friends, tastes happiness for a brief moment, and then is betrayed. The betrayal always changes, but always hurts the same. From there a deep spiral occurs, leading to his inevitable, but often glorious demise. This time he vows to take things differently. He still plans to ace the exams, but then he will do the unthinkable, he will resign his commission as an officer. To live as an overqualified regular citizen of the free worlds. With the knowledge of spell craft deeply ingrained in his mind from his previous lives, he is set to make try number thirteen his lucky number after all. There is only one problem. The Government saw his test scores and now they won't stop to have him in their ranks. It looks like the betrayal will come earlier than expected in this, his thirteenth try at living the same stale existence. Themes Include: GameLit Elements, Progression Fantasy, with Space Tech and interstellar battles. Schedule: Monday through Friday Cover Art: Thanks to Asviloka
