oh dear moon
so we meet again

I've been trying to avoid this
even though my room looks best
when basked in your silvern glow
in this light you shine on me
all my worries feel so far away
hours between me and reality

oh dear moon
let's confide in each other

I prefer the world this way
the layer of night covering it all
making me think I am alone
in the silence of the dark
not daring to turn on the lights
how else will I see your cold beauty?

oh dear moon
please be my muse

once you rise I feel at ease
words spilling onto the page
my brush flying across the canvas
as you charge me with creativity
and sometimes I simply sit and stare
while you illuminate my skin, my soul

oh dear moon
I have to leave

nothings pains me as much to admit
I cannot be here any longer
it tires me waiting until you rise
always dreading the moment I awake
but I've known this already forever
yet never able to rip free from your cycle

oh dear moon
we will meet again
in the early morning
at 3am
