A swallowed night
Scary and unknown
A place where nightmares live
The moon never follows people home
It does not have the time
And neither do I
I just don’t shine
It is my reflection in the solar light though
And cows don’t jump over the moon
You used to come and visit me
But now I’m lonely
Do you see?
