Lizard Moons

doesnt make complete sense, but w/e

After ours,

When the light has faded into

Nothing more than

A pale lizard moon,

Creeping through the sky,

Spinning in your eyes.

 

After ours,

When—

After our love,

After our affair

Has faded

Like ashes

Devoured by the gloom

Of a coming lizard moon...

 

After ours,

When another hand you

Bargain after,

Another smile

You try to steal.

Of my heart,

In this affair,

You’ve had your fill.

 

After ours,

When I will pay the bill

And will have

Lonely days

And lonely nights

And lonely tears that fall at will

And lonely lizard moons

And you to kill.

 

After ours,

When you say goodbye

Without a kiss

And move on

To find another mistress.

 

After ours,

When you leave me—

When you leave me with

You to miss

And only the

Lizard moon to kiss.

"Lizard Moon" is such an odd title, but it did catch my eye, I have to admit. I think it makes sense enough, by the way.
