"The Moon (It's Never at Night)"

by Jeph  Johnson

 

Distraught and alone, she sits in a corner foolishly feeling forlorn.

A lot is unknown, hypocrites try to scorn her; there's even a sense she'd been forewarned

 

She believes each quarter phase of the moon makes more tears well up inside.

So with ease to support her malaise, she sheds sobs; soon those reasons all feel denied

 

When that sliver of light disappears from the sky we say it is all anew 

But it's never at night that those tears from her eyes portray the wet morning dew.
