The Story of the Moon


Your inner beauty Deep inside your heart It shines in the night It gives the moonlight To come out and fight For the sky with the sun Not for fun But for hope That its lover will stay And not go With the coming of winter He comes home To find himself alone For winter has come And his love's cold heart Needs the sun to warm it She has left him For the stronger one Of a lesser heart Who will treat her as badly As he crawls sadly To his bed to weep He stays for months Crying himself away when he will cease He tries many ways Rope to choke Pills to dull the thrill Poison but it's too many coins and all But then he looks up To see her return But only to tell him That she is leaving again To which he will have no more He leaps to the sky He stays with no food No water No break for the sake of proving His love for her The one who does not deserve it And shows his face by night While in day he cries This is the dark side Which he hides from us Out of grief and sorrow Of the true love he felt he had
