Corky Moon
Corky moon
You only see me in the night
During the day I look for you and not find you
I’ve been screepling around life the whole noon
And you hid from me yet pop-up uninvited in the night
And blind me with your zeal
You know I won’t wish you away
Always wanting your taste
You then stay instilling all kinds of dreams in my head
And reassuring me that they’ll happen .
You calm me to sleep and when I wake up you’re gone again
You had your way with me in the night
You kept me up, tossing and turning me
For a while I enjoyed being intoxicated by your presence
After you were done with me ,you gave me a beautiful stare
And I gazed upon you and you shushed me to sleep
Knowing that you’ll disappear in the morning.
I went looking for you but your brother burned me
And I ran from his scorch straight under a tree
The shade wanted to have me but you’ve already taken up the whole space
But he did managed to make me forget about you a while,
He wasn’t quiet like you.
You came again in the night,
You said nothing about the shade because you know it has nothing on you
I laid by my back, knees ups, exposing my whole being to you
Thinking how are you gonna screw me today
And whether you want me to moan or scream
Which one satisfies you? Which sound tells you that you’re doing me good right now
I turned and laid by my stomach the penetration of thoughts intensified
But you held me tighter not letting go
And kept whispering the things I need to hear.
But I know you’ll be gone in the morning
And I’ll be left to fix after myself
And try to bring down doors to catch the dreams you sold to me in the night.
