“Red Moon”

Jump to Comments

Desolation.

I’ve never been so alone.

Don’t even know what to think of all of this anymore.

This song plays and it used to have such meaning.

I remember that luck would have it and it was playing the first I went to your place.

And then, not by as much coincidence, it was playing the second-first time I arrived in your lobby.

Now what do I have left with this song?  Like us, our relationship is over.

The rip tide has taken me in, sucked me in to the undertow. Drifting away and never to be saved.

Oh darling.  My beloved darling who I fell for.  How the last two months have been so great.  How I treasure each and every moment shared with you, asleep or awake, a smile or a straight.  hand in hand, arm and arm.

Oh well, can’t have everything you ever want.

Eddie Vedder said it once, and he has repeated this statement to me over the months and multiple plays on my iPod.  Ties this all together:

“So that’s it for now, sorry.  Never been too good at happy endings.”

Good bye.
