Blood Moon 🌙
I can only picture our good times
in the form of paradoxical sleep.
The time will come around again,
it ticks away like a record on repeat.
I had my speech all worked out
for when we next laid eyes.
A chance encounter
beneath a blood moon,
a last opportunity to apologise.
You have not been
far from my mind at all.
I've seen you around every corner,
I just didn't have the heart to call.
Keeping you company
was all that was needed to seduce.
Different priorities awakened,
sounding like an excuse.
Relentless countervailing
to your mood swings.
A fight no longer worth
the pain that love brings.
I can't break the mould.
There has to be another way.
You and me are frozen in time
and aren't ready for today.
