On a Clouded Moon

On a clouded moon

The sky painted in dark misty blue
Heavy hearts, echoes in the dark
Chatters and wails embraces the 
atmosphere
Now we wait, for questions in regards to 
what happened?
What did we do wrong?
What infact did we not do?

A harvest of tears, folded hands
A forced laughter from the back
Head on head, an inevitable collision
It was time, nobody could stop it
A bullet to the heart, a missed call
Its now a clouded moon with little light 
shining

We are lost on how the world works
Blurred is our judgement
Is it our time or its His time
We are just mere puppets
We brew in our anger , for we dont know 
what happens next
Curiosity is what drives us to travel that sad 
road

The knowledge of what happens next kills us
We want to know, but our ignorance 
ambushes us.
Forever we will remain in the dark
For the good Lord forgot to share some of 
the secrets of life
So its forever a clouded moon hanging on 
top of our heads.
