The moon told me I should abate
Until you’re in your fullest state
For some times we must pause for Fate,
And I heard you’re worth the wait
The moon told me I should abate
Until you’re in your fullest state
For some times we must pause for Fate,
And I heard you’re worth the wait
The moon told me I could be kind
To my body, soul and mind
Far worse than breaking guarantees,
Was breaking covenant with me
The moon told me it’s crystal clear
The way is always love or fear
She said this doubt, indecision
Was fear clouding your love’s vision
The moon told me that he and she
Were never ideal company
She said the years, they needn’t yoke
And they’d be stronger where they broke
The moon told me you’re never far
‘Tween who you’ll be, and who you are
Should you need rest, her door’s ajar
And she shall watch you, as a lar
The moon told me you shouldn’t wait
Don’t hold back, don’t hesitate
She said to give it all you’ve got
And she’d match you, down to the jot
The moon told me that you could sigh
For all these heavy-heart goodbyes
And she’d put wind back in your sails
When you were ready to inhale
The moon asked me to fill your cup
With yarns and rhymes from sailors’ sups
Each time your soul doth take a sip
You’ll fill hers up back to the lip
The moon told me we must stay true
To what makes me, me, and what makes you, you
If we can hold on, steadfastly
We’ll know libertas virtuti
The moon told me she’d gone to bed
To dream of all that which you dread
She’d hollow out these hopes deceased
And so tonight, you’d rest in peace
