moon

My Moon
You come and go in my sky
You hide your face in fun or fury
And then you reveal yourself again
My Moon
My eyes can't resist your light
You are closer to me than all the stars
That would like to take my fancy
My Moon
I can't hide from you
When you slide out of the cloak of night
And hover over me wherever I am
My Moon
You are cold and you are cruel
You beckon and reject
You swoop away and back to me, but not quite
My Moon
I had an illusion
That you were at my side
That fades and revives with your turns
My Moon
I can't escape
There is no other heavenly body
To draw me from your orbit
My Moon
We circle like comets in space
And always find each other again
Out of habit, but not will
