Dark Moon

--written on 11.1.07
--this is a song, not a poem

you are my sunshine, my lovely flicker of light
and when you see a shadow, dear
you cast it out of sight
but baby, he's my dark moon
you know i like the night more than the bright of day
he whispered to me:
do what your heart desires, but just won't say

chorus:
happiness comes in the form of a heart for you
and for me, just a bottle or two
you and me both can see i'm not right for you
what i'm doing is killing me, too

when loneliness is unwanted
i take it by the hand and show it my ways
and now it's lost and afraid again
and it needs someone to make sure it doesn't stray
so leave me to my old friends
my dark moon, a corner, a razorblade left on a stool
and we'll be on our way again; you'll be just fine
and when we're in hell, we will be, too

chorus

oh, i'm so sorry
i didn't mean to end it like this
didn't mean for it to end this way
this is what we both wanted
and now we have to terminate it
now it has to all go away

chorus

happiness used to be as easy as me and you
now i want more, i want my dark moon
no amount of flowers i send will pull us through
i'm impossible
i deserve whatever pain i'm put through
