i added a transitional stanza in here. read my other one to see the difference.

The Dark Wink of The Moon

“There’s a newborn moon tonight.”
Whispers the late light.
“Covered in orange innocence, still
Slipping behind sackcloth clouds
And dripping soiled ashes.”

“Ah, but the moon takes the
Shortest path to midnight.”
Argues the early night.
“See how it bows it’s
Head in shame when the sun’s
Sleepy eyes open again?”

Smear across my eyes, Moon
Like slow crawling mascara.
Leave a trail that leads to
The thoughts that I safeguard.
And you kiss me hard,
All the while whispering,

“If that’s all you will be,
You’ll be a waste of time.”
Tie me to light and dark,
Sliding happiness and sorrow,
Leaving today and pursuing tomorrow.

…And all the people seated on the floor
Know I’m right, I’m doing right
I never meant to be like this…

now im alone, but not lonely like before

In comparison to the other one. I like it. The last part is my favorite. It feels so apoligetic. tommorow...sorrow. no matter what I always hate that rhyme.

too bad about you not liking the tomorrow/sorrow rhyme. i thought the rhyme added that bit of contrasting music to the end of that line.
