I'm in darkness, though surrounded by light
When you are gone, the moon's here, it's night
I watch you leave, and beg for a death
Plunge myself into the stars
And burn in their presence, the moon rise again
Not bringing you with it, I curse at the night
And bury myself in memory, and in light
When you came by, I used to smile
We'd sit and hold each other for a while
But now you're gone, and I can't survive
The emotions within me twist and writhe
I watch you leave, and beg for a death
Plunge myself into the stars
And burn in their presence, the moon rise again
Not bringing you with it, I curse at the night
And bury myself in memory, and in light
I search for you, but you're never there
I listen for your wings in the air
Creature of darkness, you were my light
Your grip on my heart is still holding tight
I watch you leave, and beg for a death
Plunge myself into the stars
And burn in their presence, the moon rise again
Not bringing you with it, I curse at the night
And bury myself in memory, and in light
Bridge:
Can't you return?
Come back to me
Can't you return?
Oh, please?
I'd give my soul to see you again
I can't control what I feel within
I watch the night and wait for you
If only you'd find me...if only you knew
That I watch you leave, and beg for a death
Plunge myself into the stars
And burn in their presence, the moon rise again
Not bringing you with it, I curse at the night
And bury myself in memory, and in light
Author notes
This is kind of a poem that morphed into a song, one of my first. I've chorded this one for the guitar, but I don't like the chords I put with it so I'm probably going to change them. I love long choruses, but if this one wasn't so fun to sing and didn't sound so cool, I would hate this song because the chorus is in there SO many times! Hope you enjoy it!
In a list
Please tell me what you think

Song morphing poems! Woot!
"Can't you return?
Come back to me
Can't you return?
Oh, please?"
The helplessness I get from the bridge is kinda.... cute. Those four lines are probably my favorite of your whole song. Maybe sometime when you're over at my house you could sing it for me...

iamlost, you really have an innate lyrical talent. These lyrics are very moody and atmospheric just like the moon, and I'm sure have a haunting beauty when set to music. Another fine piece from your plentiful pen. Thanks for sharing.

Oh goddess, that was so beautiful! Poetry is often musical enough to be a song and this just fits with that. It was so descriptive and captivating, great job.
