Sometimes With This Moon

sometimes with this moon, and this air and this melancholy
I think of you without meaning to.

i wish i could abandon the million other things that call for my presence and attention

so i could entertain for a while more this stinging in my heart
and let flow the well of tears that my heart drowns in
