My Moonlight Gone Away Poem by John Dillenger II

A lightning strike
So quick and true
That lightning strike
Hit me with you
The way you were so close
Now so far away
The way we were, almost
No longer here today
Why do you flee so quickly
So desperately away
When I whisper to you so softly
Won't you please stay
The sun no longer shines
The moonlight you were so faded
I begin to read between the lines
Dreams I had sedated
The music I hear at night
Is now more sad then ever
And though try as I might
My thoughts wonder never
From the glory of your face
Beaming up at me
The way your lips taste
A wondrous thing to me
But once again your gone
To far for truce
To far along
But I tighten this noose
I know what my fate holds
Without you my dear
The beauty I once told
Turned to naught but tears
I used to write you poetry
So I write you once again
Though there's no hope left in me
Only wicked dreams of the horrors of men
The cruel tricks been played on me
The world around to far away
The world that made you to blind to see
When I begged you to stay
This bed now grown cold
Beside me you no longer lay
Though 'take heart' I have been told
I shall use my noose today.
