Peering through a Mist

I see you every day, out of the corner of my eyes,

Dancing in that last stroke of kohl,

But you leave me at moonrise.

In our grimy walls, I see a flicker of your smise-

It lasts for a moment, then I don’t feel whole,

I see you every day, out of the corner of my eyes.

I have to leave, I’m on a string of ‘vacays’,

Just as you wanted. Yet, I still await the clocks’ toll,

But you leave me at moonrise.

Whenever I think of you, a small part of me dies;

I still wake up with tears, down my cheeks they roll

I see you every day, out of the corner of my eyes.

I feel like you’re right here, in the mist, in disguise.

I touch your lacy arms on my strolls

But you leave me at moonrise.

I know waiting for you still is probably unwise,

You wouldn’t want you to cloud my soul.

I see you every day, out of the corner of my eyes,

But you leave me at moonrise.
