Moonlight Lament

[Verse] The night wraps me in velvet blue, A quiet cloak, no stars in view. The moon hangs low, its silver sigh, A beacon cold in an empty sky. Shadows dance, but they don’t stay, Fading whispers, they slip away. [Chorus] Oh, moonlight, you cruel companion, You light the path, yet leave me undone. You shine so bright, but can’t console, This aching heart, this hollow soul. [Verse 2] The breeze it hums a mournful tune, A lonely hymn beneath the moon. Each note it bends, it twists, it weeps, A melody that sorrow keeps. I chase the stars, but they don’t hear, Lost in silence, drowned by fear. [Bridge] Why does the night hold all my pain? Each hour drips like soft, cold rain. The moon, it watches, pale and true, A silent judge, in its ghostly hue. [Chorus] Oh, moonlight, you cruel companion, You light the path, yet leave me undone. You shine so bright, but can’t console, This aching heart, this hollow soul. [Outro] So here I sit, beneath your glow, A captive of the night I know. Moonlight lingers, soft and slow, While sorrow sings where shadows go.
