Gloom Of The Moon

Cynical caught sight of me
the day that I hoped for the tables to turn
back to the way that it should

Bitterly I stepped aside
there's really just assuring yourself that
everything's not written in wood

Resembling a jaded hope
all wrapped with remorse and a bottle of scorn
it cried out just for awhile

Let the world go hide in the dark
as you step out into the night
taking a stroll outside
just leave your shadow behind
in the gloom of the moon
in the wide open space of this life

Promises was once a friend
with dreams to realise something more than this here
in the arms of today

Verily it had to leave
with not much as a word of goodbye or if else
just a note on a paper

Reluctant this mind took
a ride on the wheels of time only to learn
that still crying inside it lays
