The full moon set her beams loose
To dance on the sea
Shooting stars fell to earth
After winking at me
Gentle waves kiss the shoreline
Who's passionate plea
Brought a tear to my red bloodshot eye
It's a sight to be shared
As I stand on my own
A sharp intake of breath
A quick snap on my phone
Nature's majesty sings
Memories lower the tone
A storm forms in my red bloodshot eye
When she left all my demons
Raced out of their cage
Leaving only a shell
For a fireball of rage
A thesaurus reduced
To a blank empty page
Stained by tears from my red bloodshot eye
An emotional cripple
Who's broken his crutch
Hollow fingers unable
To feel what they touch
When you're left with so little
It all seems too much
Seeing life through my red bloodshot eye
