moon

please dry my tears and let me sleep
please save me from the shadows of loneliness
please protect me from this harsh distress that threats to wrap me into totally gloom
abscond with and take along all the memories

donate just one night in which you don’t force me to see my mistakes
donate just one night in which you don’t force me to remember my missed fortune
donate just one night in which I don’t have to believe my one lies
only to avoid drowning in tears
just one night in which I don’t have to hide from myself
