Melancholy Shade

As dark took over for daylight,

Gazing into the heavens alone,

Everyone else was sleeping tight,

I'm bathed in a melancholy tone.

Again moon begins to cry for me,

Shaking my head I say it's okay.

He tells me no; my pain he sees.

Turning my back, it hurts to say.

Realizing my hurt, he asked what to do,

Shoulders shrug, I don't even know.

"I choose to spend my nights with you",

Said he believed me, he knew it was so.

With a beam he then cupped my face,

Said, "How he'd not speak if it again."

"Can you take this pain? I can't erase,"

I said holding tears before they begin.

He says, love will find you one day soon;

I wish you'd take melancholy shade.

Beams reached out from the moon,

Light engulfed me till the night did fade.
