Yesterday’s Moon, Tomorrow’s Sunset

Yesterday’s Moon, Tomorrow’s Sunset

Yesterday’s moon came through the gap

in curtains I forgot to close

I sat on the edge of my bed and thought

about everything I didn’t show

The room was still, the world moved on

but I stayed stuck between two days

with too much weight and too few words

and silence filling every space

That moon saw things I didn’t say

the ache that lives behind my eyes

the breath I held, the hours I lost

pretending I was fine with lies

Tomorrow’s sunset won’t ask why

it’ll blaze the sky and fade to black

and I’ll be walking, head held low

just trying not to look back

No music plays, no drama here

just tired feet on concrete ground

the promise of a quiet end

and hope that never makes a sound
