We watched the diamonds in the night
laid there till after noon
you said you'd reach into the morning sky
and bring me back the moon
I laughed because it sounded odd
you smiled, said you would
I shrugged it off with just a nod
but I knew I was yours for good
you brought joy into my life
the kind I'd never known
when you asked if I would be your wife
I thought I’d never be alone
then one day, you kissed my cheek
said have a lovely day
and that's the last I'd hear you speak
before you went away
I fell apart, I couldn't breathe
I drowned in misery
and sinking in the depths of grief
I found you living in my poetry
and so here I sit, day and night
paper, pen in hand
and try to find you as I write
in the promised land
I fear the day I run out of words
or catch a writer's block
every day, I pray to the Lord
to speed up my ticking clock
we'll meet again when I die
on my last lonely afternoon
I’ll reach into the morning sky
and find you with the moon
