The Moon Took Away My Breath

Velvet Moon
Last night was a long day 

When I got home, I collapsed on my bed 

And fell into a fitful sleep 

With nightmares running rapid 

Then frightened I woke up 

And saw a scary light 

Crawling from my window towards me 

Hesitant I looked slowly towards the window 

As eyes locked onto that color screaming moon 

I tried to take a breath 

But there was no room 

Only if I looked away could I somehow breathe and say 

Ah it’s a frightfully beautiful moon 

I wish it'd last 

Even though I know it must go away sometime soon
