Blue Moon

Still I cry.
Still my eyes bleed.
They bleed the blood of a father
Who loves his prodigal daughter.

But I suffer worse.
I know where she is.
I know I can't see her
Till the Bloodshot moon runs blue.

Like a mother separated from her 
Baby girl
Snatched, ripped, torn from her
Loving arms

With only a thread of faith 
To sustain her through the now
Unbearable months
Under the Bloodshot Moon.
