Begging at a hand

Closed for keepers.

I’m crying for a lovely moon

Down a dark hall

That I chose for myself.



Lost in a game of thickets,

Broken ties, I can’t see you,

I got scared.

Crying for a moon,

Where did she go?



Every morning, I hold a heavy heart,

And every evening I solemn for you.

These mornings get stronger for the passersby to laugh at,

The evenings get darker each time.



And where did that precious moon go?
