"I TOLD THE MOON ABOUT YOU" I told the moon about you How you've broken my heart in two Confided how I'm feeling blue Grieving a love I thought was true. I talked of how I hurt inside Seeing you with someone else that night Locked in an embrace, oh, so tight In that moment I almost died. Then, I asked the sky's precious jewel To cast me under its magic spell Its mystic sheen to soothe my pain And cleanse my heart of your toxin. Responding to my earnest plea The night turned dim quite suddenly Moon's cheerful grin lost its radiant glee Lightning flashed, thunder drummed angrily. The moon then hid behind the clouds Rain poured seeming to sympathize And as I'm lulled in peaceful sleep It reappeared, smiled, then kissed my cheeks. © MYRTLE EVE TEJADA Philippines
