"I TOLD THE MOON ABOUT YOU"
I told the moon about you
How you've broken my heart in two
Confided how I'm feeling blue
Grieving a love I thought was true.
I talked of how I hurt inside
Seeing you with someone else that night
Locked in an embrace, oh, so tight
In that moment I almost died.
Then, I asked the sky's precious jewel
To cast me under its magic spell
Its mystic sheen to soothe my pain
And cleanse my heart of your toxin.
Responding to my earnest plea
The night turned dim quite suddenly
Moon's cheerful grin lost its radiant glee
Lightning flashed, thunder drummed angrily.
The moon then hid behind the clouds
Rain poured seeming to sympathize
And as I'm lulled in peaceful sleep
It reappeared, smiled, then kissed my cheeks.
