Light of the Moon - Mathew Lee Cothran

Light of the moon

Won’t you lead me to my doom?

I am growing older waiting all for nothing I assume

Light of the moon

You’re so bright I can’t see you

You are somewhere in that blindness lost to brightness all consumed

Light of the moon

I once thought I was like you

Meant for shining through a darkness I was wrong

It wasn’t true

Light of the moon

Over these towns that feel like tombs

Monuments and mausoleums

Death is shimmering and blue
