Moonlight Melodies

Melancholy notes drift through the breeze Suspending every breath they seize Stealing every broken wish and hidden sorrow Embracing the gaze of one who will never see tomorrow Holding captive every sob and tear Unrequited love and heartbreak it holds near The emotion of a funeral in every chord Each a final prayer to their lord Memories of times past Thoughts of how the good times never last Unrealized hopes and dreams A fake smile and everything that isn't as it seems Pure life entwined with every line Grief and loss, a distant "I'll be fine" The harmony enveloping every dull ache Deep regret that's hard to shake The symphony is of these emotions and lost chances Alongside the midnight moonlight, this broken melody dances
