Moonflower

Dear moonflower, let me sleep;

Let me fall out of love so gently.

Dear moonflower let me breathe;

I don’t know how to let go correctly.

You wear skirts and pink like girls now,

Someone you never thought to be.

You want to live, to see the light shine,

To be just as naive as me.

I’d fall asleep on you so anxious

I could barely even eat.

This heart shaped light made so nauseous 

I was falling down my feet.

You saw me breaking down the stage 

With the waves from me escaping

But I was just building a cage 

For us to fly in while we’re dancing.

But dear moonflower, you never did;

You flew away at night without me 

I did my best but I missed it 

I’m the sunflower you couldn’t wake me.
