They Leave At Dawn

Two innocent eyes look up at me Blue pleading watery eyes I catch that moment on my cellphone Before long they would be gone! Come back cute fluff I croon in each dark corner Come back milk bright fur Come back silk smooth caress You can’t have gone too far! Crescent moon hides you in shadow Covers you the pale ashen star Come back not wrench my heart You can’t have gone too far! Why the ones I love don’t stay long Like you I carry on my cellphone A few tunes and part composed song Hushed into dusty yellow tone! Why I can’t hold them back The ones I love disappear at dawn Go hide in the moon’s shadow Leaving me bruised forlorn!
