New Moon

The day you left caused people distress

I was left alone in the cold, wet forest

It's not your fault, you only tried to help

You didn't know I'd end up in such bad health

I was picked up by a different man

Who saw the cut and stitched me back up

I was almost well, but then there's the scar

A reminder to me of what couldn't be

For months I was numb, roaming the earth with no purpose

You'd been my meaning to life, but then you left with a 'bye'

How could you think that I would survive

You say I wasn't curled up in a ball, refusing to speak to the world

How very wrong you are my friend, I couldn't even bare to stand

My friends they talked, and talked to me

But I couldn't eat or drink or talk or breath

He became my sun, my reason to wake

I saw him every single day

I found out his deepest darkest secret

One he shouldn't have shared with me

He loved me with all his heart

And I loved him, with what remained of mine

You came back, and he backed away

He knew I'd chose you, for reasons I could not explain

All I can say is that you are my life, my air, my drug

If you left another time, I surely would not survive

So stay my beloved, and hum to me

That familiar melody.
