Sideways Moon

The sideways moon

Is smiling

The silent doom

Is within

Skin I know I'm chiseling

Off what I had sculpted

Claimed to be

I loved you most exciting

Unattainable

Shadow in the mirror

That was what I saw

Painting by the numbers

Filling in the gaps

That was how I loved you

That was what it was

I catch myself asking

Time, go away?

Is this merely life flashing

Right before we die?

I catch myself crying

I wonder why?

It's easier to forget it all until we die

Will, you know, I'm sorry

Taking what I took

Will, you know, I truly

Gave you all I got

I loved you most exciting

Unattainable

Shadow in the mirror

That was what I saw

Painting by the numbers

Filling in the gaps

That was how I loved you

That was what it was

Lost inside the stories

Told a thousand times

Am I somewhere in there

Forever on your mind?

I catch myself asking

Time, go away

Is this merely life flashing

Right before we die?

I catch myself crying

I wonder why?

It's easier to forget It all until we die
