The moon is yellow
and the sky is clear
the stars are all invisible
but i still know they're there
I can feel your nails
digging into the tips of my fingers
when we stood in my front yard
with our hands pressed together
Sweat was building on my brow
the crickets screamed and chirped
a 3am orchestra composed for you and me
by the fat rich juicy breakfast of the birds
From your angled sight
I saw my distorted reflection
let that sink in a minute
as I tried to remember where I am
If i could pick just one moment to live in once I die
It'd be the one where I first noticed the colour
of your eyes
There's a lot of water pooling in the drainage ditch
I wonder if some poor creature has drowned in it
The ripples on the surface from the dancing playful wind
Are deceitful about that miserable murky world
and the monstrosities within
Thought I saw tears brimming in your eyes
but you said there was nothing wrong
Finally i've realized
My distrust here does not belong.
From your angled sight
I saw my distorted reflection
let that sink in a minute
as I tried to remember where I am
If i could pick just one moment to live in once I die
It'd be the one where I first noticed the colour
of your eyes
I've let things break down
and now i'm cast out
by my own volition
to see if you'll reach out
Two years have passed since i've had these dreams
we're now like strangers
roots grown away from the seed
I hardly remember why i felt so close to you
the loss still lingers and yellow has lost it's hue
there is not a day goes by your iris is gone from my mind
where I wonder if you wonder about me too
I'm sure some day your face will be hard to find
but I do hope it's not some day soon
