The Last Full Moon

The Last Full Moon

written by: Zeynep Şimşek

 

I look up at the sky
And it’s the last full moon of the year
Why tonight
I’ve got better nights
To enjoy the life
But tonight when I am all done
While I can’t even get up
Why there’s such a view
That keeps me alive
How I’m tired
I can’t hold sleep
It’s taking over
But I half open the curtain
So I can see the full moon for the last time
It’s not a good time
I say, for leaving me now
I might not even enjoy
Looking at you tonight
Tomorrow you will be gone
How am I gonna sleep
When you’re not up in the sky
I’m not feeling alright
Can’t you stay one more night
When I cut the hope
When I am decided
How can you make me feel alive
With all those clouds
Lined up around
Don’t mix up my mind again
I can not pull it together
You know that’s why
Everyone is drifting apart
We both knew from the start
That I’ll be going alone
But I think after such a love
You can’t stop wanting to be loved
Now you’re on your dark side
You say it reminds me of the days
That you weren’t even there
You’re right
But it’s hard to stop being loved
