The Moon

Every night before going to sleep,
Calling your name I say hello.
Like a promise that you must keep,
Staring back at me you say "bolo".

And until sleep arrives to soothe,
The unrest in my soul,
We talk about work and headaches,
About people who are assholes.

I thank you for being the way you are
This makes you shine a little more
Capturing that shine in my mind
Both my eyes shut their doors.

But there are times when, you
Don't show up at night, I wait.
Cease to feel anything inside me
Then fall asleep when it's too late.

I know you have a world to look after,
Wish I had you all to myself.
But you shine because you are,
Mine and everybody else's help.

An eternity seemed to have passed
Between now and your, "see you soon".
But, like always you show up again
And light the sky, my Moon.
