A Moonlit Night

When the moon strikes its shadow
Upon the dark blanket of night
I look outside the cold window
Searching for you under the moonlight

As the cool wind blows in my hair
For a second, it takes my breath away
I open my eyes to see if you are there
But the light shines back in dismay

I turn away from the shining moon
But the silvery light crawls back
Your beloved memories are strewn
Across the night, in glints of black

The moonlight whispers your thoughts
Into the silence of the dark night
The sparkling stars with grief distraught
Listen to these memories so trite

It retells me stories of those days
And brings tears to my sad eyes
Showing me dreams gone astray
A moment of happiness in disguise

When the moonlight touches you
Do you also remember days gone by
The same sorrow that I go through
Also force you to turn away and cry
